"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 texted her if she wanted to go boating with me and she messages me back: hey sorry , but i really cant hangout. what does this mean? Is she just playing hard to get, already taken? I havent built comfort with her but she has high interest for me. I even tried to build some rapport with her on text but she only gave the above message. Should I talk to her face to face about this?
 

"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.

It means she doesn't want to hangout with you. When you texted her, you gave her a choice to go with you. You should have said "I'm going boating and I'll pick you up at 7." Plus, boating? That doesn't sound like it would get any girl hot and heavy.

Is she just playing hard to get, already taken? I havent built comfort with her but she has high interest for me.

Sorry dude, when she says "I can't hangout" and doesn't counteroffer, you are almost done. You go buy a car and you told the salesman "$20,000 is my offer" and he doesn't counter it. Would you think he had a high interest in selling the car to you?

I even tried to build some rapport with her on text but she only gave the above message. Should I talk to her face to face about this?

There is no point to.
Put your energy into someone who actually likes you.
