"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 was with my oneitis, when a friend of the oneitis text me, saying I want to **** your brains out. I showed this to my oneitis and we both thought it was a joke, so my oneitis text her back, pretending to be me... Later on in the evening, I sent another text back, jokingly, asking when the proposed **** was going to happen... it turned out after a chat that she was serious, and not just joking, so the situation is striklingly wierd.. How do I get rid of her...
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Don't get rid of her. You've got it on a silver platter. If oneitis is driving you crazy and she's not your committed GF get it done. You have little to lose. And if oneitis is commitment-phobic, teach her a lesson.

Surley this would end any chance I would have with the oneitis? Also, seeing as the oneitis sent the firtatious texts for me, that is pretty manipulative and using her 'skills'. I mean I have no issue with banging girls, but I preffer to get them on my own accord, and I get a fair few.

oneitis by definition is infatuation with a woman you cannot get. A: She sent flirtatious text messages for you, apparently she doesn't mind too much if girl B "effs your brains out." I know if she was into you, she'd probably have reservations about it and definitely wouldn't be sending these messages. No, it wouldn't end any chances you have with the oneitis, think about it. Things could always "not work out" and you go back to your oneitis.

Just don't blow it with this other girl and you're in.

We both really thought she was joking, based on a conversation the three of us had a few days before, this is why the situation is so weird. It seems more than likley that she is joking, but is trying to prolong the joke, or else she would be here now ****ing me, wouldn't she?
 

"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.

call her out on it,

Use the "Prove it" method.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Chloroform.

Then drive her out into the middle of nowhere. Preferably a field or something.
Maybe she'll find her way back home. Maybe not...
Well yeah, but she is a friend, so I need to do it lightly.
