"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.

Hi guys, I am by no means a DJ or a player, etc etc. I recently got out of a relationship and started hitting the field again. I went out a few times and I got 3 numbers from maybe 8-8.5s (no real dime pieces) at clubs/bars. Normally I prefer to meet women through friends or on campus, but thought I would give it a shot. However, I would usually text them the next day or the day after next with like "hey we met in sososo, hows it going? :)" , but 3 times I haven't gotten a response. On Sunday I met some chick , got her number, and texted her that last night around 10 and this afternoon, still no response- so this one is pretty much a no go. I am not going to resend her /call her because I certainly don't want to seem needy. I am not too hung up on it, but I am wondering what I should differently. I pretty much have no game other than the fact that I am a decent looking, in shape guy who dresses alright. The numbers that I get were done pretty quickly and I don't really know much about them other than their names. The way I just approach girls is pretty naturally- I see them looking at me, and they seem cute , i walk up to them say

'Hi whatsup" *smile
'im ...' shakes her hand
told her i thought she was kind of cute so I'd come by and say hi
ask some small talk **** like 'are u from this city?"
then make an excuse to leave and find a friend, but promise to come back
come back 10 minutes later, tell them I have to go, but let's go for a drink/coffee sometime. They agree, I ask them their number, punch it in , call it , hug, peck on the cheek, leave.

as you can see.. nothing extravagant. So what should I do differently? Build more of a rapport first? Touch more? Flirt more? Set a plan before I leave or tell them something like "So I will definately call you tomorrow, and we will take it from there" and Call them instead of text?

thnx guys
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Since you're recently out of a LTR, approaching in this manner is great practice and great for your confidence. But if it's a girl you'd like to stir something up with, I advise building more rapport. You essentially set up a flake-prone situation when you just banter for a couple minutes and get a number. Why should she call you back? Why should she have any feelings if you just bs'd back and forth for a few?

The trick is to give them enough of you to spark interest and intrigue and leave her wanting more, without hanging around like a hungry dog. I achieve this goal by

1. Being tall dark and handsome
2. Making her feel my energy
3. Cultivating the sense of mystery (= not needy, not attached to outcome, letting her see *sometimes contradictory* pieces of the puzzle)

Sometimes they throw themselves at you and want to fvck that night. You're in control, but anything can happen ;)

Oh, and NO TEXTING. Stop it. It's a stupid, impersonal way to communicate. When you're getting to know each other, the phone is your enemy, use it only to set up a meeting. Texting = your attention at her beck and call
