"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.

She is ****blocking herself (not enough comfort?)

Well, i know this girl for a while. She is always with a small group of female friends and once in a while we meet during parties, nightlife etc.
During a party she gave me her phonenumber and looked pretty much into me.
She likes to play boardgames (just like me) so today i txt her to plan an afternoon playing boardgames at my place. She agreed, really great. But after twenty minutes she txt me that she also asked one of her female friends to join us. WTF!? Well, the female friend agreed.
Is there not enough comfort? Or maybe not interested at all?

What you think?

"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.

either uncomfortable or (more likely) doesn't want to make it seem like she's into you.
have one of your friends come along then.

Be glad that she has friends and is introducing you to them... it's much better than the other way around. Besides, if her friend "approves" of you that's good for you too.

It's only the second time you seen her. Maybe, she wanted a girlfriends opinion on you. You will know soon enough if she likes you or not.

For a first date, asking her round to your place could make her a little uneasy and guarded that you might be expecting to lay her right there and then. So she invited her friend to act as ****block. As such, things could be going in either direction with this chick as there's an obvious reason she invited the ****block in this case (which would usually be a red flag and indicator of disinterest).

Better for a first date to be a public place and if things really go well you can always go back to your place later for "board games", "coffee", "show her your stamp collection" or whatever ;). If you arrange another date, make it a public place and if she invites a friend on that, then assume she's not interested.
 

"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.

What boardgames were you planning on playing with two people? Most of the good ones need at least three people anyway. Definitely inviting another guy over to wing would be best. It shows you have a social life, plus you two can help each other get in good with the girls. I really am curious about the boardgames. If I can find a chick who loves to play Risk, I may marry her on the spot.

If she doesn't know you that well, she could want someone else there for safety reasons. I've had that happen. Just be very nice and friendly to her friend as well. Once you get approval from her friend, then you are in.

I know these girls for a while now. During the party when i got her number the group of girls invited me to join them on their holiday next year in Asia. It was out of the blue and i still don't know why they asked. And we already had a meeting together to make first plans for this holiday. So i think i have my approval.
But about this specific girl i like, my friends from town know her longer (i am a newby in town) and they say she is 'a sort of hard to get' and is somehow a kind of acting distancly (whoo, my english..) towards men.
Maybe it was a better idea to have a meeting with her in a public place but when she told me about the fact she likes boardgames i could not resist to ask her to come at my place to play boardgames.
The girls live both in my neighberhood so maybe it was for her just an idea to ask her friend to come along.
However, i am looking forward to play and make fun..and to win.
About the boardgames. We are gonna play Colonists of Catan, Scotland Yard, Machiavelli....strippoker???
So, with this edited information, she was ****blocking herself? Or just LOL?
