Classic one-itis idiocy: not going for an easy lay with a gal who I was attracted to who was hitting on me hard because another gal I wanted more was there.
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 still fall for this one once in a while. I know now to just keep on truckin', just keep on doing your thing, and if you're feeling really brave call the other girl over and try to make her jealous... or maybe even get your first threesome goin.Bonhomme said:Classic one-itis idiocy: not going for an easy lay with a gal who I was attracted to who was hitting on me hard because another gal I wanted more was there.
Yeah, been there, got the t-shirt. I was really attracted to the one who was all over me, too; it's just that I had a super crush (okay, "one-itis") on the other one. Really, though, the issue was just as I was too pvssy to pursue the one-itis, I was also too much of a pvyss to do anything with the one who was all over me. Just an all around fvkwit is the simplest way to describe me.Classic one-itis idiocy: not going for an easy lay with a gal who I was attracted to who was hitting on me hard because another gal I wanted more was there.
Hmm, I don't know if that's so bad. I mean, as long as you did end up talking to her etc. Sure, "live life on your terms" and all that jazz, but if there's someone you're really attracted to, a tactical move like that can't be all that bad. As long as you didn't just keep attending the youth group and sitting there like a moron, not saying anything to her, week after week, I think we can give you a pass.Back in HS, I started going to a youth group, specifically so I could talk to this one girl. It was pathetic. And I'm sure that pretty much bought my ticket to Hell.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
