"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I ran across this girl from my old high school (really hot), I really didn't know her that well, we ate together a few times but we weren't close at all or anything... i know nothing about her really. Just sent her an add for the hell of it, asking her casually if she had gone to X high school b/c she looked really familiar.

She replied saying yes she went there but immediately made her profile private... i figured she thought i was some stalker or something. Oh well no biggie, I had no expectations from this just did it on a whim.

Then like three days later she send me an add, then the next day she suddenly has all these much hotter pics of herself looking all flirty, then the day after she puts me on her top 4 friends(bumping down some apparantly long term friends for me) even though we haven't even talked or anything.

Now, I'm not really familiar with all this myspace/internet stuff but I'm getting the hint that she's got SOME interest. I've never really met someone off the internet (and this is kind of like that b/c i haven't seen her in about 4 years, and i don't know her well), is the best approach to just ask for the number, or should I talk to her online for a while? Im used to approaching in person, feel a little odd online.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

sure sounds like she has interest.
i mean you can log in whenever you usually do and see if she sends you some sort of message or comment.
then go from there.

Go with what you're comfortable with.

Ask for the number and do things in person.

wait... she hasn't even really talked to you yet, but she put you in her top 4???

maybe she is trying to make an ex-boyfriend jealous with you being on her page or something.

but yeah I would chat her up a few messages before asking for her number. But I don't know... it really doesn't matter I guess.. All the interactions are done in secret... Thats what I love about myspace. It lets the girl be free to do what she wants and not worry being a slvt, or worry about what her friends think of her.
I met a girl on myspace one day, just sent a random message to her and we sent a few messages back an forth. Met her later that night and laid it... She's still not on my friends list.. lol..

But you would know best with this girl. wait... you said a few days later she seeked you out and added you?... she wants more friends. or the appearance anyway.

when it comes to what she ALLOWS on her actual page, its suddenly very politcal carefully planned business.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

She actually has very few friends on her page, doesn't seem like she uses it much, just close friends and family apparantly (and me). Doesn't seem like she's trying to win a popularity contest, as far as making another guy jealous, well her profile is private and the only two other guys on there are hideous by any standards. Could be though.

She's got a lot of stuff about mixing drinks etc. on her page, just gonna try to use that to break the ice into conversation... i know nothing about drink mixing so i might as well tell her i'd like to learn about it (which I kinda would).
