"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.

Had a crush on this girl almost 2 years back when i was in highschool and she was in my class, i was a really afc with terribad game,and she turned me down. i avoided her for a long while but she keeps initiating conversations through fb or phone messages. i really tried to avoid her in all ways possible,im not the type of guy who stays just friends with a girl. its like we dont talk for a few months,then she keeps bugging me for few weeks in a row, altough i give short aswers and sometimes even make fun of her.
Even heard she has a boyfriend now so what the heck does she want from me ?
I used to feel bad when we talked,cuz felt like it takes me back in the past, but now it doesn't affect me anymore,but still,not worth!
Telling her I don't wanna be friends with her would be awkward, but doing it indirectly just won't work.saying something along the lines:"I don't wanna see you,I don't wanna talk to you, and I'm sure as hell I don't wanna be your friend" would make me feel like **** cause she is really a nice girl and comes from a really poor family, I don't even know how she survives on her own in college.she's also socially awkward in some way, doesn't have many friends especially cause she has no money,who would hang out with a loser who cant afford a pizza right.
I changed a lot, even if she somehow suddenly had a crush on me now, I would just want to bang her cause why not and thats it,and she doesn't deserve that.
what should i do ?
 

"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.

Welcome to the forums! I'm actually having the same issue right now.

This girl I know has been blowing up my phone for a month, trying to get to know me etc. The thing is she has a boyfriend who I have met before. Not sure why she is teasing me like this. Is she actually interested in me or just wanting an orbiter.

Personally if she want aggressive, I probably wouldn't hit it but she's cute. I see her about once a week or so.

You ask her to hang out. When she texts you, you tease her a bit ask her how shes been and suggest to meet up.

You date her, rock her world, escalate and that's it. any questions? shoot bro

You just put her on a muted ring tone and you ignore 9/10 messages. Every now and then feel free to send a cryptic message or a message declaring insane horniness.
 

"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.

You seem to be in the right frame of mind, so here's what you do...

Keep her as a friend on Facebook and occasionally respond to her texts.
Let her see how great your life is, and how much you no longer need her.

If she's a typical chick, she'll want a piece of your action - make her work for it.

Good luck
