"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.

The girl from work & my new rival

Hello. I have a situation with a girl from my work & i'm sure how to proceed. I've been working there for a a few years & she started about 6 months ago.

We work in an office & she was sat next to me. Over the following months we got on well together, I was trying out & testing the seduction material here like for the hell of it, & while nothing overt happened, i think she was starting grow fond of me.

We had a few work nights out & we spent the majority of those nights together, drinking, having fun, dancing, ect. There is flirting going on & KINO both ways.

I didn't try anything 'cause, technically, she's not single, but the relationship isn't majorly serious & she's subtly hinted that she would leave him.

I also didn't want to try something, get rejected & then our growing friendship would be ruined, not to mention the awkward work environment that would follow.

Anyway, i thought we still had time to slowly build things between us.. But then, a new bunch of people have started at work & to accommodate them, they've moved everyone around. We don't sit next to each other anymore. A new guy is now sat next to her & i'm too far away to really communicate with her.

They seem to really be getting on together. Laughing & constantly talking. I didn't think she would really go for him 'cause, he's about 7 years older, engaged, not in great shape, & from the little bits of conversation i've heard, he's making some classic mistakes, ie. talking more about himself, bringing up boring subjects like movies, music & even politics!

I thought that i'd be strong & not show her how much i quite like her & went from occasional contact, to which she was extremely enthusiastic, to rare contact, making her chase me, you know. Not looking desperate.

I have noticed her glancing at me sometimes when i walk across the office & even overheard her talking about me in a positive manner.

But, we had another work night out & while we did have some fun chats, just like the old days, she was also quite flirty with the new guy. Play fighting (she's never play fighted with me), joking & spending more time with him than me.

Back at work, & i'm still keeping up this front, talking more with my colleagues trying to let her chase me, but she's not really doing that. She's still laughing & joking with the other guy, & while she's not ignoring me, she's not really making any extra effort to talk with me.

I don't know if i'm just being paranoid, i mean, the guy is engaged! But i'm not sure this showing no interest & pretending i'm getting on just fine without her is working.

But then again, it might be. There's a chance that she's playing these rules back at me, which might explain the overt flirting with the other guy, but then, maybe she does like him..

I don't know what to do. Should i keep up with the casual don't care attitude? should i show her interest? What do you think?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

It's very clear that "you don't know what to do".

Women at work are already a bad proposition. So why waste your time, risk your job and your work life? But let's put that aside.

You have all but killed any chance you might have had by waiting how ever many months you have to do anything.

And now it looks like you waited long enough to have competition.

Dont pull out your **** at work, any time I did it **** got ****ed up + you waited 6 months and did nothing so she thinks youre a faggot and youre deep in the friendzone + she is in a relationship, which means, you dont know how serious it is from what she tells you, hoes always lie like that, it can be serious for her man, how would you feel if you was him. Asshat. Get a grip and clean up your act.

She is attention whoring, flirting with engaged men, I mean DUDE? HELLO? SHE IS NOT WORTH IT, you could get laid from this, but it wouldnt be the right thing to do. I MANS GOTTA DO WHAT A MANS GOTTA DO. ALways.

I know its harsh but you need to have morals which are unaffected by female *****dom.

Sounds like she's just having fun talking to new people. You know, typical women stuff.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
