"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.

Today's the 3rd day.

We're great together, there is sexual tension (she says she gets very shy around me or when I give her compliments). KINO is great, she always makes excuses to touch me, run her hands over my shoulders, arm, back, etc.

We hug, I kiss her cheek everytime we meet, etc. All great.

So fast forward, I'm ignoring her right now, for a while, it's the 3rd day today. And she has sent me a number of texts and online messages, asking what happened, etc?

I couldn't stop myself from answering some, but I quickly regained and told her bye, leaving her shocked.

Now, DJs my question is, how do I ignore her texts/messages/calls without coming off as an a-hole?

Because she will ask me later what happened, why did I ignore her messages? I can't just say I'm busy, because last I recall, it doesn't take much time or effort to type out "Sry, busy".

"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.

You can always just text "Sorry, busy." It's takes five seconds, ensures that you don't come off as a prick and is pretty much just as good as ignoring her.

Yeah, thats what I said in my last 2 sentences.

Because she is very close to me emotionally and sexually, I dont want her to get the wrong ideas and end up losing her instead of pulling her towards me.

Ignoring only works to a certain extent: ignore more than you should and she will lose interest.

This will (often) increase desire up to a point, but there does come a point that you have to realise that any more ignoring is counterproductive to your goal - i.e. you ARE actually trying to hook up with her.

She seems anxious about what's happened now so I'd say stop it for a bit (some would say push-pull)
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
