"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.

Sorry for leading you on.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Wait for 4 months, don't talk to ANY other girls in the meantime and hope and pray that she eventually decides she MAY be into you. Call her every day 4 times AT LEAST to be sure she remembers you <sarchasm/>

Your mistake was grabbing the bait.

This is another reason why beginning in LJBF is good. They have NOTHING TO REJECT. As an LJBF, you could have offered support, friendship with no sexual pressure, and been IN. But nooooo.....

Even as an LJBF, I'd have said to her "Yeah, right, in a week you'll meet some guy and say it "just happened."" Doing this as an LJBF won't make you look jealous, esepcially if you follow up with your own "war stories."

The idea isn't that she'll think you aren't interested. In fact, she'll KNOW you're as full of crap as she is, but by treating her lie like the truth, she winds up checkmates.

One of these days you guys will get it: if ONE chick REJECTS you, it's no big deal. Keep her as an LJBF, and PURSUE OTHER CHICKS. This will help you not only with the other chicks, since you aren't bogged down by oneitis, but walso with the LJBF, who will feel rejected by your lack of pursuit, since she will know the ONLY reason you don't want her, is that you already haev someone hotter.
