"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.

What's going on guys ?
Long story short i've been dating this girl for a couple months and about 10 minutes ago, a friend of hers added me on Facebook (my gf is her only mutual friend) and started flirting with me via chat. I feel like she's insulting my intelligence by "trying" to pull a fast one over me, but I really don't know how to approach this. I want to try and turn the tables here but really dont know where to begin, input would be great guys.
THANKS
 

"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.

its a trap.

the friend is trying to feel you out so she can report back to your girl and give her her overall impression of you.

i kid you not, on nights out which have ended as ONS i have had to pass the friend approval test. its pretty standard and i can see it coming a mile away. so much so that i incorporate it into my game plan
The first message her friend sent me way "Hey Cutie :)" so the way I see it is if I were to reply and try and keep the conversation going I'm going to fail no matter what. On the other hand, if I don't respond she's going to think I'm just a **** who reads and doesn't respond. The latter seems like a better option at this point
