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.
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.
Especially 0:48That was painful to watch
There's different types of laughter. This was mostly awkward laughter. You see, laughing is a way to release tension and those awkward approaches sure built tension, but not much comfort.If you get the girl laughing you're doing it right.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
No, you definitely shouldn't emulate them. Not great negs and they have super weak body language.Damn that was cringey. Canned responses and awkward body language/conversation. You can see how awkward the girls feel when interacting with this dude, I would bet that none of the numbers he got replied. They probably just gave their number (or a fake one) to escape from the situation.

Imagine a girl you're not attracted to at all, comes up to you on the street and pull a conversation like that. You awkwardly laugh along to be polite hoping they go away soon. This is what these girls are doing, because out in public in broad daylight they don't want to come off as rude.
This is certainly not a way to (successfully) pick up girls using insults.
