"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 dated a wierd chick about 1,5 years ago. Wierd, but with a hot body. I met her online and we dated for 2-3 months. I don't really remember what happened at the end, but I had other options and really didn't care all that much. One night when I got home she had sent me an email where she “broke up” with med because I didn't call her and gave her enough attention. She also wrote that I could let her know if I wanted her to call me, and we could talk. (Power Move). I wrote her back saying: “Oooooooookay :)”. Went NC and never heard from her after that, until now. Same site I met her on, tho I use a different name now. She wrote me first and I let her know who I was and nothing more. I did pretend to be a bit unsure if it really was her. She comes back with a simple question about something I told her long ago, maybe to see if im mad or something.

Here's the deal. Im not looking for a relationship with this girl, but I would agree to do other stuff with her, and you know what I mean. :) Im thinking of giving her a short answer to her question and then im gonna ask her something that don't apply to her at all. Im gonna ask if she still drives that old car, knowing fully well that she did not have a car when we dated. Just to throw her off a bit. Did anyone ever try this, and any predictions to how she would react?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Skip the chit chat online (waste of time), tell her to catch up for drinks and take it from there.

When an ex contacts you again, most of the time she's checking whether you've moved on and if she can still command your attention. The more you communicate with her through any medium that's not face-to-face, the more she's satisfied that she still has you and likely to LJBF you. In person, she has to work harder to figure that out, and it gives you a better chance to stir up some old emotions which often lead to a romp back at your place for a nostalgic feel.
