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.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

sex seems leads to trouble one way or another.
how do you mean, after? like you pulled out and it stayed in?judoalex said:i had sex with a chick and i dont know wy but my condom fell off after my ejaculation, what is the percentage of getting a std without a condom like aids?im ****ing worried
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.
I'm presuming teh chick is liek a girlfriend?judoalex said:i had sex with a chick and i dont know wy but my condom fell off after my ejaculation, what is the percentage of getting a std without a condom like aids?im ****ing worried

Moved to AE; closed.diablo said:Facts and figures are completely meaningless in this capacity. Either you get an STD or you don't. There is no way to accurately determine the probability of your contracting a disease based on what the profession of the woman you sleep with is. In short, if the girl has a disease, and the condom breaks, you're screwed. If she doesn't have one, and it breaks, you're okay. If she doesn't have a disease and the condom breaks, you're okay. If she does have a disease and the condom doesn't break, you're okay. If she doesn't have a disease and the condom doesn't break, you're okay. If she's a waitress and she has a disease, and your condom breaks, you're screwed. If she's a stripper and doesn't have a disease, and the condom breaks, you're still okay.
Since this question is rather pointless and has no accurate answer; closed.
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.
