"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 work at gap a couple of days a week afterschool. This girl got hired about two months ago who I think is hot and I talk to her sometimes. A co-worker of mine who I am cool with, Dan, thinks she's hot and they talk sometimes also.

The first manager I worked for left the other day and so we had a party. Dan did not come for whatever reason, but the cute girl came over to talk to me and we chatted for a while about a bunch of random stuff. I mentioned that I was dissapointed Dan did not come seeing as our manager was leaving. After I said that, she for whatever reason said that Dan was cute, but had a funny spanish accent.

This was uncharacteristic of her and out of left field so it threw me back. I didn't really know how to answer so I just started laughing and said I bet he'd be glad to hear that. She didn't say anything after but I then changed the subject as if nothing happened and then we just talked a little bit more about random stuff.

I'm not sure if I handled it correctly. Any pointers would be appreciated on how I should have handled it.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yeah you totally handled that incorrectly!

You should have ninja-kicked her in the face, that'd teach her!

WELL, I have read somewhere on the board when girls ask stuff like that they are testing you/it's a **** test. I was surprised by what she said so I assumed it must have been.

No, no, no. Here is an example of a **** test:

1) I take a girl on a date, later we are on my balcony, looking at the traffic below. (I live on the 24th floor of a huge building). I massage her back for 2 minutes, but I dont play the cards right, and she says she has to go after letting me massage her for a while. I definately messed up in some other ways on that date.

2) She emails me and says, "I have to ask you something before we arrange our next meeting. Your hands were wandering places last night. Does this mean anything?"

Reality check:
OF COURSE SHE KNOWS WHAT THAT MEANS!!!!!!!!!!!! OF COURSE SHE KNOWS! THERE IS NO DOUBT IN THE WORLD THAT SHE COULD NOT KNOW WHAT I MEANT BY THAT!!! HELLEN KELLER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE IDEA.

I took the AFC route and say: "Yes, I massaged you because I like you. I'm attracted to you. Of course I want to massage you." She knew this anyway, she was giving me the sh!t test.

The next email said that we could only be friends. I replied: "Let's cut contact." NEXT!

That is a sh!t test, and I haven't read anything about them, but the best way is to NOT ANSWER SERIOUSLY AND HONESTLY. As long as you do not answer seriously and honestly you have won. Remember, she already knows the real answer, she is playing a game.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
