"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.

Hey I don't know what she will do...I kind of don't care at this point in time. It is for a very simple reason...I deserved to lose her! Everything I did and the way I went about doing it, was being a chump. I am not suprised that she did what she did. Do I think that she will ever contact me again...probably not! I am also not really expecting it as much as I was when I first posted about her. But yea am I going to work on me for me? You bet the a$$ of the finest chick that you ever nailed!
 

"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.

I am going to be a bit contrarian. Seeing as how you met this gal on April 1, I think you should keep pursuing her. I think you should call her once a day just to say hi, send her flowers candy and cards, and ask if you can wash her car. I think you should try and meet her X and see if you can help him get clean. I think it would be NICE for you two to invite her X to have lunch with you guys, so that together, you can get to the root of his issues. I believe you 2 have a future together if you just keep trying to break down her barriers. She is just playing hard to get. If you take my advice and go for it the girl of your dreams may just become your future wife! And you 2 can live happily ever after. I am sure of it. I also believe that the April 1 date is significant in numerology and that you should ask her to get married on this day next year, and marry on April 1 the following year. Gosh, this is Soooooo romantic. :flowers:
Some of these responses were pretty funny, but this was my favorite.

At any rate, Ferrgy, I used to be like you.

What I have found is this: the only way for me to not get caught up in the sort of situation that you just did (and I used to get into) is to date a lot of women. Go on lots of dates with lots of women, and you won't obsess like this. It won't cure all of your problems (and it didn't cure all of mine), but it's going to help a lot.

Let me repeat: go on lots of dates. Like, as many as you can. Read the posts around here, apply what you've learned.
