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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I agree with this. Sounds like you don't like her that much if you have to ask total strangers what they think of her. Think for yourself. If you like her, who cares what someone else thinks? If you don't like her, why are you considering getting with her?There's something dysfunctional about posting your LTR on a forum to people you don't know before you start dating her.
hahaha exactly!Mistic said:Dude, ur an idiot. Who cares what a bunch of clowns on a forum think about you dating some skank.
Honestly? Because she is still young, she is maybe a 5.5. Give her a few years and she will be a 3-4 at best. But again, NONE of that matters. If you like her, if YOU think she is hot, then go for it.AFC_Schism said:I'm considering dating this girl and possibly evolving into a relationship with her, she's really good at sex, loves giving head, and is a pretty chill girl. Great personality. I'm wondering though what you guys would think if it is worth pursuing her. I'd really appreciate it if you could be completely honest with this, I do like her and I think she likes me, and I'm just wondering what you guys thought.
Two pictures:
First one she's the blonde on the right:

What do you think, worth pursuing?
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.
