"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.

Should I try an email approach?

Ok there’s this woman I’ve been interested in for a long time. She’s beautiful, intelligent, classy, but also very modest. The signals I get from her, however, are erratic. She often makes a point of smiling and saying hello in passing (or sometimes even from afar), but when I’ve tried talking to her she seems to close up (this is actually very rare for me btw) – which I can’t discern between total lack of interest or shyness.

I don’t know her particularly well, but we had a class together last year and have a number of mutal acquaintances (all of whom think very highly of me). Anyway, I probably won’t see her again now until next term, so I’ve been thinking of writing her an email asking her for a drink or coffee after the exams. It’s not the approach I’d normally choose and was hoping some of you guys could give me some ideas on how to go about it, or whether you think it’s just a plain bad idea.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Why don´t you ask her face to face or give her a call? I think they are better ways.

I would, but I don't have her number and I won't see her again until November. I wanted to ask her out face to face before now, but she is always with friends, so it has been difficult.

I feel e-mail is not a good way to approach.. but then again, anything can happen. If it´s the only way to approach that girl, maybe you should give it a try - and remember the next time -CARPE DIEM. Let us know what happened :)
