"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 guess I know what this means but I just don't want to accept it :p

So here goes. I tried making a move on this girl. We were in a room along, just playing a game, nothing sexual. At the end I decided that now would be the time for a kiss so I told her to 'come here' . She kept asking why while giggling/smiling a lot. I kept moving towards her while she was doing that, when i got within a foot of her she turned around and left saying "ok i'm going now" while giggling quite a bit.

This was at work btw.

I've never had that happen, every other time it was either a complete success of complete rejection, but this I dont know what to make of.

My brain isn't being cooperative at seeing the objective truth here, so I'd like you guys to give me your opinions. What do you think happened?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Some girls are just different. What works with one many not necessary work with the other. You probably frightened her when you asked her to "come here..." and walking towards her like she is a prey. At times predator/prey tactics just don't work well...

Are you kidding? What if she got caught and got fired?

She's quitting. Her last day is in a few days. I'm not THAT irresponsible :p
Edit: And she handed in her resignation long before I ever thought of doing anything.
