"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.

So Ive been seeing this girl for a few months, dates every now and again good signals, etc...
anyways, I ran into a mutual friend of hers and I and we started talking about her, and then she told me that the girl I was seeing had a boyfriend ever since the summer time (I moved back home for the summer and maybe saw her 4 times in the summer)
Anyways, why the hell wouldnt she tell me she had a boyfriend, instead of me wasting my time and energy on her?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

If there's one thing I've learned, its don't give or get information from a third party. Its either a pile of ****, or the person is a 'spy' who is gathering information from you.

Also, if you're not exclusive with her, why should you give a ****? She's not your girlfriend, so she is free to date whomever she wants.

Welcome to dating.......
 

"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.

You should constantly be checking her for Disinterest within the first 2 months. Your detector is Off. That way you won't waste time like you just wasted.

you say you're 'seeing' this chick. That means you are fvcking her, or are at least making out, and just haven't fvcked yet, and what not, yet you claim all you're doing is 'dates now and then.' You aren't 'seeing' this girl, you are just her friend. until you've acted on those signals, you're just friends. When I read the title, I was under the impression that you'd been banging this girl for a few months, and found out she really had a BF. Granted, its pretty lame that she never mentioned her BF this whole time, you can't go claiming that you're 'seeing' her.

Well, I hate to break it to you but it's very likely you're not actually seeing this girl. The other posters are right. It's been 4 months and you haven't had sex? Really? My take on it is that you're just her new guy friend she's leading on, and are most likely one of many. I guarantee you if you keep silent about finding out about the bf and then try to sexually escalate you'll likely get the LJBF talk. Then there's still the possibility the bf was bunk and the friend was wrong. However, the other stuff I wrote is still probably correct bf or not.

If there's anything I've learned, it's that women like this are DANGEROUS! She is USING you to get the attention and admiration she's NOT getting from her boyfriend. Women are very selfish creatures, subconsciously. Stay away from her, and let her chase you. If she wants you so bad, let her leave her BF. Otherwise, don't pursue her, don't call her. Because when she's bored of you, or her BF starts treating her better, she's going to drop you faster than Britney Spears drops her baby. Leave!
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

She may be looking for a new branch to swing to-you are auditioning for the position,but why? IF she has a BF do you want a woman pulling that on you later? If no BF,the mutual friend may be trying to start some drauma[how well do you know her,what is her credibililty?] I guess,ask her and find out.
