"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.

Drums, I am concerned that you have missed much of the advice here. You asked, "how do I get her back interested?" and the collective said "you don't want her back interested, she's probably more trouble than she is worth". Be careful here.

That being said, I agree with, and have repped, Willard.
Just text her "ok", then act like there is no problem when she calls. If she asks what you have been doing just say "I've been keeping busy". Your ignoring her major red flags like saying I love you and wanting to move in together after 3 weeks.

Most likely she is a high conflict person and trying to put her into her place is going to feed into her need for conflict. acting like you don't care is going to give you the position of power. Remember the person who cares less in the relationship has the power.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Personally, I'd just shift my focus to something else (career or something) just to let the dust settle and see where things go. I don't think you need to do anything here

This isn't meant to be insulting, just an observation. The roles sound reversed, especially your reaction to the event she forgot about.

She sounds like the man in the driver's seat who's not too bothered by things and you sound like the emotional woman who's wondering where the relationship is going.

Not a good place to be.

G_Govan,

You nailed this. How does a man flip this position to being back in the driver seat?
 

"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.

By NOT projecting an outcome dependent personality.

Have a life outside of her. Do you work out. Bicycle.. Canoeing... Skydiving... Paint... Sing.. Dance... You must have a passion.. The need for vagina is not a passion.
