"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Met someone in December, asked her out and she said she had a boyfriend. I gave my usual response "call me when you break up". Haven't heard from her in 7 months. Today got a text saying hi. My replies were all short, but she didn't mention anything about getting together or the boyfriend. Just went back and forth twice. We are registered for the same class starting in September. No need to put up the convo.

Do I:

1. Ask her out again?
2. Ask if she still has a boyfriend?
3. Do nothing until she mentions hanging out.
4. Never respond again.

The last time this happened the girl told me "well you told me to call when I was single...."

I'm leaning toward #3.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

I would keep the conversations casual and play things by ear. Don't want to seem eager/desperate and rush into things.

I have a BF
Woah, I didn't ask you if you were looking for an upgrade

If she texts 'Hi,' reply with 'did you win the lottery?'

If you have't been in contact for 7 whole months, she is throwing out some bait. You ALWAYS want to know where you stand with a chick. Ask her out. Don't beat around the bush, make your intentions clear.

fvck it. she said no once.she had her chance. she probably wants to use you in some way.
this has happened to me a lot.

girl says no,
i say "fvck it" and go practice snaking in mario kart,
girl texts/e-mails after 6 months saying hi.....

then after 2 weeks...wait here comes the punchline
"hey , can you please do me a favor? :)"

^ btw they always somehow fit in a smiley in there somewhere, every.fvcking.time.

so to sum up this is the formula
<<hey/hi ,blah blah blah . :) >>

usually after i get such message i reply by :whats in it for me??? :)
 

"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.

This. I would go a step further though and invite her to your place so she is in isolation. Anything other than a yes gets the ignore.

What BeginningDJ said.

Who cares if she blew her chance. Grab a notch on the belt and move on. I'm presuming she looks good enough to warrant a notch. And if so, let go of the ego and take it. Doesn't mean you gotta lock down and date the damn girl. Just be clear about asking her out - and really, you don't know each other, she didn't know you, she had a boyfriend, wasn't willing to cheat - whaddya expect? Now she's free, and she's hitting you up. Take it, man, I wouldn't judge her for sticking with the familiar for a while.
