"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.

That has zero to do with the way you ask them out. Zero. If so they would never even go on a first date with you.
course they would they want to know you desire them, and hoped youd spend resources on them

texting is a weak mans game of no return, it should be limited to 4-5 messages here and there
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Nah, get with the times bro. You seem like you are stuck in a time warp. That advice is great in 1995 not so great in 2021.

And this is a recent problem, not one that I normally have, and one that appears to be turning around slowly. And texting has always worked fine in that regard. So has calling. It simply makes 0 difference.

That’s using texting as a crutch. Yes they both can work but why make it easier on her? The point of calling is to gauge her interest. How excited does she sound? People can’t easily bullshyt their way through voice inflection.
 

"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.

Fvck properly. Those "bad boys" they give their body to aint' doing a damn thing "properly"...
A "bad boy" ain't necessarily a bad dude. He has personal power because he knows his worth. Blue pill, jealous and the f word hates to see this.

Here is an audio of how it went, what do you think?

This is why you don't cal unless you are confident and sure of yourself. You sounded afraid and nervous. Didn't matter what you said, it was likely going to be a no because of it.

This is another reason why unless you are really good on the phone that you should text until you feel more comfortable doing it.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

So this is a sure no? I didn't know I sounded nervous. Anyway it's an experience to learn from

Thank you

What is the best time for dates? Can they happen in the morning
Not typically... I know people don't like Corey Wayne, but his approach on dates is simple... "Create an opportunity for sex to happen"

After you've seen her a couple times, mornings are okay. Early on, it's not likely to create an opportunity for sex.

Just ask her out as soon as possible and keep the texting to an absolute minimum. If she gives you excuses, consider her not interested and move on.
