"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.

Went out with an HB7 couple of times. This girl is an actress and occasional model, mid 20s. She is also fairly intelligent. I enjoy her company but don't have any other interest in her for now. So I have treated her like a friend.

Anyway, we have a date for next weekend, but she just emailed me to offer me tickets to a concert. She says "you don't have to take me if you don't want to" and says she might be too tired from work that day to go anyway. However, I know she loves live shows.

So, I said "thanks for the tix" and nothing more. I figure I can always invite her later. But my question is, what kind of test is this? (assuming it is one)

I mean, she could have simply invited me to the concert if she wanted to go with me. Or she could have invited any other guy if she didn't and I would never know.

Possibilities:

1. She's too chicken to ask me out directly, so this is the chick way of doing it

2. She wants to see if I would take somebody else instead of her

3. She is just reciprocating the nice stuff I did for her and being a good friend

4. She wants to keep things "even" so she doesn't owe me "anything"

Anyway, what's the DJ way to play it?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

She's probably feeling very underwhelmed by your lack of interest, and figures it's just as well to stay home, than to go and not be pursued.

Update

Apparently there is an after-party involved. So I need to give the name of my guest to the organizer. Now what do you guys think?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Here's my take. Who cares? Take the tickets. If you take someone else and piss her off, who cares, your a talented guy, she isn't your only plate, you've got other options.

Have fun and live life.

Or there is the other side, if you really like her, then don't take the tickets at all, if it is indeed a test, don't get sucked in, simply don't take them, let her do something with them, its not your problem.
