"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.

If there can't lead it to interesting conversations, I just give up on that person and next.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I agree with this, but I disagree. Let me dive deep (pause) that men who get laid know how to communicate in a cheeky, flirty, bantering way, etc Is true

However you underestimate that there are a lot of women who are burned out on these apps and thus look for anything to disqualify a guy even if the guy is harmlessely flirting and 2nd some women, while they are tired of the "how was your weekend" type questions, would rather get that then a guy asking right away "do you wanna ****?" It's basically up to you to decide which route to go. I have an opener that I use online dating for years which lets me know of the bat how a woman response if she has a sense of humor or not by how she responds. It's a miniqualifier and the older I get 1. Most women are to dumb to get it. 2. The ones who have ADHD and try to gloss over it. 3. The women who find it lame-Those are the ones I unmatch with. 4. The ones who laugh and get it. The opener allows me to vet not just for humor but if a woman is socially initlligent etc.

“Hypothetical: We are both stuck in an elevator for an hour. How do we survive without killing each other or falling asleep? I need your survival strategy.”

^^The Opener, yes it's a bit cheesy but you'd be surprised how it works because most men aren't asking a question like this


Personally, I like to keep things flirty, fun initally which brings me to my 3rd point some women are awkward communicators especially via text or messaging or not in a mental capacity etc. Regardless of the issue there is more than one way to skin a cat.
I like you approach especially in the selective process.

The more time passes and the more I realize that by the time you say something and get an answer, that answer shows their interest.

When interest is low, it's pointless to try to force thing or even put some work.

Sometime an unconventional line like yours allows you to get a rapid feedback about her interest level.
