"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.

Weekend approach.

Right, so this weekend I went shoping for mothers day. There, while I was perusing a certian store, I saw a HB9. Now, I had seen her once before at my friends old school. So I approached and spoke to her.

Bla bla bla, turned it into a bit of a mini-date as we both went shopping and later for coffee.

Now, I wasn't really looking for any numbers, so I didn't close. Besides, I've got a girlfriend so it's not like I really wanted her # either. Just another calling expense.

But as I said my farewell, and turned around and walked three steps, she quickly called after me and whispered to me where she works. Like as though she wanted me to visit her.

*chuckles*

So now, a few days later, I'm thinking: she really does sound like she'd make a nice friend. ;-) So I've only seen this scene played out in the movies, but hell no I'm not looking there for guidance. Do I just walk into her department at lunch time and say I'm looking for her? Then proceed to say we're going for a cup of tea downstairs or what? :-/

Thanks.
 

"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.

Depends on what kind of store she works in,if you're looking for an excuse to be there say "I wanted this product/service and since you work here i decided to let you give me a discount".

Yeah, the gym's right accros the building. Great idea blink. But... go back a few squares. I'm not really sure how to act once I enter a building filled with accountats in bowties. Y'know...

Do I go to reception and say: "Hey, I'm her to see ..."?

or do I go to the third floor and poke around till I find her?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Excuse to be there? No can do, I don't make excuses. If anything, I'll be usually honest and tell her I dropped in to annoy her. :)

You can say to a receptionist,"Hi could you page (name) for me" and then when she comes up from just ask her if she can go on a short walk. From there you get her number,call her up, get in a spa...you can take it from there.
Dont snope around,you may look desperate doing that.
It may actually look better if you stop by and she happens to be out,if thats the case just leave you number for her to call you(helps to filter out how much you mean to her,if you mean something she will call).
