"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.

Totally Bummed Out

What's up guys?

I just transfered universities this semester and everything started great. As early as a week ago, I already had a really good looking friend with benefits from my new school, a pretty girl I was gaming that I felt was interested in me, and I got another girl's number I met at a restaurant and was pretty sure she was interested.

Now things have really gone down hill. The friend with benefits is now trying to work out things with her boyfriend, the girl I was gaming seems to have completely lost interest(and bailed on me today). And finally, I called the girl last night I met at the restaurant after texting each other back and forth and she didn't answer or call me back.

Dang, it sucks how things seem to be going perfect and that nothing can go wrong and within two days, it seems I've struck out on all of them.

I try to do what is said over and over on this forum and not be needy or show too much interest, but it seems I always start off hot, girls dig me, then I just screw it all up some how. I really don't know how this always happens to me.

Any words of advice? This has really bummed me out and made me lose a lot of the confidence I built up over the last few weeks.
 

"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.

When everything goes wrong that could possibly go wrong I just have a good laugh and go get a drink and plan my turn around.

Maybe thats all you need too.

Also for future relationship attempts you have to not be so focused on technique but rather internalize what you have learned here meaning that you trust your gut instinct to act towards a girl in a way you feel you can get away with that would work with her.

So if you feel like calling a girl more than once a day do so but only after your gut instinct has given you a feeling that she would welcome such an action.

You have to trust your gut, your inner feelings moreso than rely on routine A leading to routine B.

One thing I've learned and ingrained in my skull is that it's a numbers game with women. Don't be so hung up on these two women who you "struck out" with. In the development of your game you'll eventually evolve the perception that you never "strike out" with a girl. *They* are the ones at bat who have the potential to either score a run with you or strike out. And if you strike one of them out, there's a slew of them waiting for a chance at bat. You need to change your perception of yourself so that you truly believe you are a prize to be won.
