"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.

My buddy has a question he asked me some advice on and I thought you all would be a valuable resource.

He has a girl he's really interested in f-closing, but she's leaving for Scottland in less than 2 weeks and so it needs to happen soon. He asked her to go to the zoo with him tomorrow and she's being really sketchy and hasn't given an answer yet (which I would say is a bad sign). He's got another girl who's so in to him she's willing to take off work to spend time with him, but he's not so interested in her. My first thought was that he should just ditch the girl he's interested in and spend time with the girl he's not interested in to send the girl he is interested in a message. But, since she's leaving so quickly, I don't know if that's the best game plan.

Would you guys no contact her for the rest of today?

Send her a text to the effect of "tik tok tik tok honey, the clock is ticking and i don't hear from you soon, i won't have time for you anymore".

Send a different text all together?

Or just make plans with the other girl?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Might have to waive the white flag there. I would not send that text, or any other text. If she's not interested, that text will go over horribly. If she is interested, it will happen without needing to send that.

He doesn't need to make plans with that other girl if hes not interested in her, though. If Scotland girl doesn't like him that way, she won't get jealous by it. He would just be wasting his time at the zoo with someone he doesn't want to be with.

How long will this girl be in Scotland? Is she moving there or something?

Good words. You're right.

And she is moving there. So this is the last leg of the journey for him.
