"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.

About a week ago I was contacted by an HB7 on an online site reccomending we get together for dinner and chat. I messaged back that it was cool and that we should meet on saturday. Yesterday night I got this message:

Hey Leporello,

I would really love to hang out but this weekend is looking a bit rough. Would you mind if we pshed it back a bit? Can you contact me when things are a bit clearer, at the beggining of next month?

Best,
XXXXXXX

That's the sum total of our interactions. Should I message her again in a couple of weeks or is this just solid flaking?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

I suppose typing a sentence couldn't cause too much damage.

Wherever the Dong guides me, but mostly Hawaii
Here is what Gangster of Love told me to say in a similar situation. Good advice

"I understand. How will you make it up to me?"

Dont write anything else.

LOL

I'd say it's too vague to tell. Keep her on the side as a prospect while you search out other chicks. Don't put too much thought into nothing.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

There should be a damn good reason why she's flaking if she was very interested in you. So just give it one more shot and if she flakes, then next.

No good bro. Unless she is working 24-7 I'm sure she could spare 2 hours for a dinner with you. If you had a first date with (Angelina Jolie), would you text her a message like that?

Dear Angelina,

I can't do it this weekend because things are a bit rough. Can you contact me when you aren't so voluptuous and sexy?

Best,
Leporello

Alright you want me to break down for you?!

This girl contacted you and said she wants to meet you and then all of the sudden:

1) She is too busy
2) she wants to push it back for next month?! why on earth she was contacting you if she doesn't have time for you?!

Here are two types of scenerios:

1) She is the type that is an Attention Wh0re. Some of those chicks have nothing better to do then come online and string guys along so her own ego can be inflated. No chick is ever that busy not to take a couple of hours out of her day to meet someone, she has to eat too! You are not a priority! If you were then you would be going on that date.


2) She met someone else and bumping you out of the rotation which means you are the backup for next month.

Do not put any effort into this girl. There are plenty of other girls who are available to go out with you TODAY AND NOT NEXT MONTH.
