"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.

So I’ve been out of the dating scene for a while due to being in yet another relationship (mutual split after getting bored). Anyway have been practicing talking to women again as I turned into a workaholic and ignored my social life. Must be vibing the right way lately as I have been attracting women pretty easily.
For the last few days have been chatting to a girl that works at a cafe. Great body 8 face maybe a 6 though. I have been working nearby to this cafe the last week so have more or less been practicing some banter/flirting with her as I'm a little rusty. Today she pursed me pretty heavily and we exchanged numbers. She is one of three I have been warming up on and was a little taken back at how quickly she escalated. The others are still flirting with a bit more room before we hit anything serious. I'm not really looking for anything steady, in fact I'm not to sure what I want apart from some primal urge release.
I am literally two weeks out of a relationship, so still have that break up nervousness about banging other women and am wondering how to proceed from here. I'm worried if I take some me time I will start going backwards as I get comfortable making excuses not to talk to women (I'm an introvert at heart). Considering I broke it off with the ex,I feel a bit dodgy dating that soon.
Any advice?
 

"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.

You are doing OK. Keep getting numbers and going out with new women.

BTW, what did you learn from your last LTR ?

That LTR's bore me in the end. Unfortunately spinning plates got tiresome as well and that led me to the LTR. The ex ticked a lot of boxes for the positive but the routine of a relationship just kind of ground me down.

I also have another ex with whom I share a child. I suspected that she was BPD minimum and am a bit worried I may have been affected by that mentally. I was young, had a captain save a ho attitude and was unaware at how attention hors worked. I think I was bitter for a while, but now I'm back to enjoying women on all levels.

Right now I will just keep moving forward.
