"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.

Advice would be nice.

Few nights ago, met a girl on myspace. I'm 19, she's 19. We started messaging back and forth for a day, and then on Saturday she gave me her number and said to text her.

We spent all day Sat texting and when Sunday rolled around, she gave me a call. We talked for several hours that night and when I got off the phone she quickly text me and said she enjoyed talking to me. She asked me for a pic (which was weird since she had my myspace) and she sent me a couple of her.

Monday night she called again and we talked until about 2AM. Today in class she text me to see what I was doing at 2:30. I told her work so she asked if I wanted to meet later tonight and I said yes.

When I got off she gave me a call and we agreed to meet up someplace. I pull in and she's right behind me, so we talk for a bit and agree to head towards Starbucks. Couple miles down the highway she takes an exit. I called her and it went straight to voicemail, and I text her and no reply.

What's up with this? All the interest and then nothing?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Dude that ain't being stood up, that's downright scary. I hope she doesn't work for a criminal organization.

^^^^Like she said^^^^
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Why do women do stuff like this??? It wastes so much time.

No wonder people cant have relationships anymore they are too damn busy trying to play each other.
if she drove up and went into a convenient store where you were to meet her and you drive up and notice her, from her picture, and then notice she had a hunchback and a badonkadonk butt... would you drive off? its cruel .. but it's honest..
