"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.
What to say when a girl compliments you through text?

"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.

Wouldn't it have been better to have had her say that to you in person than generically across your cell phone's screen?
Maybe one day they will have an emoticon girls can send to guys that represents sucking d*ck. I'd rather her just suck it in real life

"You are so smart, so handsome.. blah blah blah"
"You know me so well," said like she is the only girl who gets him, no sarcasm.

When a girl gives you a genuine compliment, you should acknowledge it. Nothing over the top, just a simple "thank you" or you could go a bit sarcastic and show her you don't take things too seriously.
But with what she said to you, it was pretty general, so I wouldn't have even acknowledged it and just continued on with the conversation

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
This makes no sense. Maybe circumstances being what they were, he couldn't see her. You can't see your plates in person 24/7, texting is to communicate when you're not around them.ebracer05 said:It sounds like you were having a conversation with her via text, which makes me wonder why you weren't having it in person. I understand you have to text in this day and age when you're dealing with women, but minimize it.

I think ebracer is implying that anything sent over text should be taken with a grain of salt. I would ignore it.MisterD said:
