"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.

Here's the crazy sh!t. Now she will not stop texting me. So confused on how some ladies operate. Getting ready to go out. Would it be unwise of me to wait until tomorrow to respond?
Well, her texting you is a sign of interest. Perhaps she had reviewed her options and decided that you have some value.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

That was before we did the she's available any day, then she's available never at night. Either she's playing a game or low interest. No problem. Another time then.


She's been silent since then. I thought this one would be better as she's not on OLD. Nope.

^ very valid points and I agree @Glassguy. In my experience though if the chick is interested in you she won't see any of that as being desperate or losing frame. The text could've been without the 'when you have *some* time' though. My go to text is always a variation of "Sounds good, let me know what days/times work for you". This forces her to come up with a concrete day/time and you're not asking 'if' she'll go out with you you're asking 'when' she'll go out with you. If she doesn't respond, just have to have the IDGAF attitude and move on to someone who is interested.
THIS!

That was prior to when I got her number. She reached out to me and I asked her what day works for her. She then replied, any day really, and then we got into this game where I just said maybe another time. I have no idea why she'd make the effort to reach out to me via text if she had no intention of meeting up. Sounds like a fruitless endeavor.
