"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 understand the 2 strikes rule but i also know it depends on how they respond to you on the 1st strike whether you give them the 2nd..

case 1: i got this swedish girls number after a long convo.. i made a joke she'd be my stylist (she's studying fashion) i got a lukewarm response which told me i prob should have just deleted it.. a few days later i text her to come meet me that weekend, she never responded. should i bother contacting her again after her no response?

case 2: this other girl i got number off after some joking banter for about half an hour, she's in finance and was studying for a qualification.. i do recall earlier i saw her walking with a guy down the high street which made me assume she had a bf.. anyway i text her to meet up and she said 'im kinda busy this week, let's meet next week' to which i responded 'ok'.. fast forward to that very weekend i see her in the starbucks i picked her up in and she was sitting in the same place.. by the window.. i tapped on the window and gave her a wave.. she gave me some dirty look and waved back.. i proceeded to completely blank her when i went in and when i left.

case 3: this italian woman also in banking in the same starbucks that day asked for my email so i suggested to exchange numbers instead.. we did. i tet her a few days later to meet up for a drink she said she was travelling on business and for us to meet when she was back in 2 weeks... fast forward to that weekend.. i saw her in same starbucks but i forgot what she looked like and went over to actually pick her up then she came over to me as i was moving my stuff.. i was a bit bemused like who is this.. she was coming over to give me a hug and kiss but i had all my stuff in my hands then i proceeded to talk a bit to which she was quite distant (working) she made apologies saying her travelling plans got moved to tuesday as she was suppose to be leaving on fri instead.. i began to ask her questions about it to which she got defensive.. i just sensed even though it was true it was BS.. i left it saying bye and kissing her on the cheeks.. should i follow up with either 3 of these women?

i sense no and low IL in all of them and i cant figure out if i should bother giving them another strike. i haven't got any numbers since that day 3 weeks ago (technically i have but more for business networking)

Case 1: next
Case 2: Would have given this one more shot, but after you ignored her the second time when you went in, you have to next. But i'd approach her again the next time you see her.
Case 3: one more shot.

Good luck and well done on the number closing. Keep it up and expect flaking.

I think number 1 is completely out of the question. Delete her number.

Number 2 is probably done too. She would have remembered what you looked like.

Number 3 is interested. You might have turned her off a bit, but I would say call/text her and see what's up.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Forget 1 and 2. Give girl 3 the benefit of the doubt and one more chance.

I would forget about all 3 of them. The third one was already not that much into you. She will flake on you as well. Why were you kissing her cheek and giving hugs?

I think that being out there in the field and closing deserves a well done. I'm not saying he did it perfectly, but he did it and is out there trying. That's more than i can say about many guys on here, so yeah, well done :up:
