"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 don't know what happened with a girl I know. She used to show a ton of signs of interest towards me and I was going to ask her out. But the past couple weeks she's basically been ignoring me. And now she's showing signs of interest towards a friend of mine. Whenever I'm walking in a group with her she never even looks at me anymore. She'll talk to me if I talk to her but she never brings any convos up.

And just a month ago she was always bringing up convos with me and always showing signs of interest and giggling at things I said.

The only thing I can think of is a couple weeks ago I started to show interest in her.

Should I still ask her on a date or have I lost her to my friend?
 

"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.

You haven't lost yet, but you're cutting it close. Strike up a conversation with her, throw in some Kino, and see what happens. Best of luck to you.

I'm in a very similar situation right now (except for the friend part). The girl "changed" once I showed interest. For this aspect of it, I cannot help you - perhaps others can.

But I will try to help you out on another part, since there is another "competitor' looming in the shadows (your friend). In this case, you must take action - interact with the girl (flirt/kind/convo/etc.) and hopefully, it works out.

Pretty much what ThisGuy said. :D

Hmmm... i see a pattern here:

Guy shows interest, girls starts ignoring guy.

Trying laying back a bit. If she keeps ignoring you, you ignore her back and talk to other girls.

If she's ignoring you, then giving her kino & extra attention is only going to make things worse.
Thats what nice guys do. They supplicate.

Penkitten is right, you shoulda asked her out when the getting was good.
I don't think there's much you can do now, and this last ditch effort to "get the girl" seems kind of desperate to me.

The only thing i can see working out in your favor, is if you become more sociable with her other friends and make yourself the center of attention.
She'll get jelous, and ditch your boring friend.

It's all about social hierarchy, out-game his ass. ;)
 

"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.
