"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.

On OLD short and snappy messeges work best, asking a question about her hobby

I spoke to a women who said she responds to men who talk about her likes or something about her profile which were video gaming, she responded to just a question.

Also I've talked to a successful man who written nothing but seven, eight words on her likes, interests and he got replays back.

I tried this and becoming successful on OLD. Just by asking a question on what movie did she watch last, where is her favourite holiday destination, what is her favourite animal.
 

"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.

This. People in general love talking about themselves. For women, that is doubly true. If you ask questions about them, and seem genuinely interested in their hobbies, you will build rapport with them.

Its a tried and true formula, whether corresponding online or on an actual date. Chicks favorite topic is themselves so just pay attention and keep asking questions. You'll know you've got a good one when they actually make an attempt to do the same to you. Ive gone on so many dates where they talk about themselves all night and never ask me a single thing. Then they say they want to go out again. Nope!

Over the years, I've attended a lot of high school homecoming (football) games, and it seems like ALL the gals in the Homecoming Court say that shopping is their favorite hobby. :rolleyes:
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Some of my OLD openers as of late:

LL: "Hey there (HerName), what's shakin' in (HerTown). Have the zombies came to raid your TP supply yet? if you aren't too busy defending your stash message me.."

LL: "Hey there (HerName), what's going on there in (HerTown)? Did you hear about the latest refugee crisis in Illinois? All of the penguins from the South Pole are migrating to Illinois because it's colder here now!" (this works on really cold days only obviously)

LL: "Hey what's shakin' (HerName)? I see on your profile that you are a hockey fan. I might consider talking to you so long as you don't like the Blackhawks.. Go Blues!!!! "

LL: "Hey there (Hername).. Nice picture of the fish you caught. Did you give it a big fat kiss before you cooked it for dinner? lmao"

I do admit that I do read every one of their profiles and I don't just look at pics. Because with a lot of them if their profile reads like they are too much of a bytch I move on...
