"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.

i have a few women who initiate i dont text for too long and i arrange meeting up if it suits as i have before

however after my first polite collective reply there next replies are one sided no question back

shall i just start leaving the convo after there first one word response ? so they start to see im sick of there selfish BS? is this the best way of handling this ?
 

"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.

Ask her out, a yes is a go. Go rock your night. A no or a maybe? Replie with Okay and wait a week and do it again. Another no or maybe or a my cat died or im tired tonight with no counter offer is delete number.

Not science dude!!!! it's so easy

i've already met and fked these women sorry if i didn't explain right, what i mean is when they only give one word replies even though they initiated...
one is currently in a totally different area of country for a while so she initiates but then gives me total one sided BS for the next 3 texts WTF

so is the best way of dealing with this to just be polite but then leave the convo on there last vague message they sent? to train them i aint go time for one side bs?

Attention seeking behavior from her. When this behavior starts, get busy doing other things other than texting her. A one sided conversation is Not a conversation.
