"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.

"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.

too much complimenting.

when she said that she wasn't one of the bad girls, you shouldve started to make fun of her about it - using exagerration... "yeah right, i bet you wear too much leather and carry around whips and chains for fun"
...and its gets even more fun if she says "LOL how did you know?"

Good i like it but the amount of times you said 'lol' was ridicolous. Try to use something else that is more witty or charming. But not bad i like it, i learnt some points from it
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Thanks for posting a short convo that can actually be read. Most guys post huge epic conversations with girls on here.

You went for the number. Which is great. Asking if she was a bad girl was cute

I'm just going to put out my pet peeve here. PLEASE write intelligibly online. It makes me want to kick people's faces when they talk like "how r U 2nite." It makes you look completely uneducated.

Other than that, asking her questions and following up always works. Keeps her talking about her favorite person on earth: herself.

At least you got the number kid. Important thing to remember is that instant messenging of any sort should be more of a "supplement" rather than your primary tool. Nothing boosts the confidence and increases your "skills" more than getting out there. If you need to, set some meetings up with a girl you met online, keep the online convos to a minimum.

thanks for the replies. lol and smileys are just about the only way to show someone online that your fun lovin.

i try to keep my online talking as intelligent as possible. but im not going to sit there and use all my elite grammar skills to make every sentence the best ever written.

i agree too, only after i read it, i realized i shouldve busted on her more.

btw guys, the number was fake hahahah
i had a feeling it was fake when she said that it might change soon, so i asked my friend(her best friend) and she confirmed lol. she told me that the girl showed her the convo and that i got the number too fast. this particular girl likes to get to know the guy before she gives him her number. She also gave me a few pointers lol: she told me to say things that make girls blush. dont be like every other average joe or she will think " o god another loser"
it makes sense. this is much harder then i thought it would be online. but eh, when you get a chance, why not go for it? its good practice =P just another learning experience

For what its worth some girls are kind of wierd about giving out their numbers. I know some pretty hip girls that won't give a guy their number if they just met a guy. Some girls are just overly cautious about it.

However, that's no excuse to give a fake number. She should have just said "I don't like to give out my number to people I just met." That's a lot more respectable than giving out a fake one.

The only thing I have to say is at least you kept it down to 20 minutes.

But I continue to say AIM sucks, don't use it. Trust me.

so this girl is someone you semi know (ie through friends) and she gives you a fake number, thats just stupid. Although she left the door open as she said shes changing them soon.

Aim has its use. Most people say that you should call to setup a date and that the converstation shouldnt be long. All you should be doing in the convo is setting up the date. Does that really have to be done over the PHONE because your not really using any of the "DJ skills" since your not really having a conversation, you are just setting a time and place to meet. For that purpose i thought AIM would be a good substitute. The only CON there is, is that you would constantly be avalible for them. That can be solved by creating a seperate SN used only to setup dates with them.

the reason i use AIM more then most people advise is because of the phone bill lol. I use my phone to talk to friends and im afraid that if i started calling every single girl by phone, i would quickly run out of minutes and would get charged alot more then i should.

any thoughts on this?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The way I see it is that verbal communication is like 8% of all communication. voice tonality makes up 20/30-something% I think, so you are able to convey more through the phone. I usually talk for a few minutes on phone then tell them to meet up.

On the subject of IM convos I was wondering if one of the guys here could be so kind as to read my post and tell me if HB likes me. This was about a week ago, I can get girls easy enough but I still fall in oneitis trap. I then start analysing everything and the girls say its because Im scorpio:rolleyes:. Anyway this is the convo, I never mentioned HB but I wanted to talk about her so mysmooth talking got me on the subject about work experience. This is starting from where I said where I went:

her: lol yeah HB said she saw youu
Bullet4Valentine: lol
Bullet4Valentine: I hate buses though
Bullet4Valentine: everyday
her: lol was you on the bus with here
her: i mean her
Bullet4Valentine: we were on same bus
Bullet4Valentine: mostly
Bullet4Valentine: but we didnt speak much:-D
her: lol yeah right
Bullet4Valentine: what do you mean?
her: i bet youu spoke all tha time
Bullet4Valentine: no
Bullet4Valentine: what makes you think that?
her: i dnno maaaaayyyybbbb u lyyyyyk her
her: ...
Bullet4Valentine: what makes you think that?:-D
her: the way you stalk her and watch her and stare at here
her: *her
her: oh wait thas wah HB does to you
her: lol
Bullet4Valentine: lol I did bump into her a lot, I bet your stalking me as well right?:-D
her: no
her: whyd you change your name, by the way i like bullet for my valentine they sing that song guilty right?
Bullet4Valentine: no, thats Rasmus theyre rubbish, that songs so old as well what made you think that?
her: I dont like Rasmus either
Bullet4Valentine: HB didnt say anything mean about me did she?:-D
her: as a matter of fact she did

I asked her that because I acted like a prick to HB a few days before this chat. She ignored me for the rest of the day the next day but eventually started talking to me again she seems colder since though. How do you make a girl become friendly with you again? Sometimes shes friendly when I manage to start talking to her cause Im a smooth talker:cool: but othertimes how can I put it... *****:-D.
My theory is the more girls fancy you and the more girls you can get the harder you fall for the girls you cant get. I think this because the same is exactly true for the opposite, hot girls fall for men who treat them like theyre not hot babes which is why negs, C&F, takeaways and all the rest works.
If you guys think shes not interested it dont matter all that much anyway, but it would definetly be nice.

If a girl doesn't like me thats cool, not their fault they got bad taste:cool:.

Thanks in advance.
