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.

Oh man, I would have TOTALLY embarrassed the old b!tch at that point. When she said that you were older than your date, you should have been like "not as old as you, grandma" with a good-natured laugh. That would have shut her right up.Mike32ct said:By a 50 yo woman.
I was 34. My date was a 20 something from online. We were at a bar. This older lady started talking to us, actually her and largely ignoring me. My date continued to talk to her to be polite.
Then the old bytch said to me loudly (in front of my date), "You're OLDER THAN HER!" I'm like "yeah?"
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Agreed. I wouldn't put up with that shyte today, but I was a chump then lol. But regardless, it IS disrespect.Bokanovsky said:Oh man, I would have TOTALLY embarrassed the old b!tch at that point.

Once, I was at a bar with my date and there were two drunk dykes sitting next to us who started to inject themselves in our conversation. They told my date that she looked gorgeous and told me that I looked like I was "really into my date" (clearly a back-handed compliment). I largely ignored them and at one point told one the dykes that she should get more drinks (she was already drunk as fvck).
I had another situation where some swarthy-looking Starbucks "barrista" tried to flirt with my date right in front of me. My date made a comment about wanting something simple (as opposed to your typical 17 ingredient Starbucks latte) and he just exploded with verbal diarrhoea, mouthing some nonsense about how "the best things in life are simple" while totally ignoring me and not taking my order. I interrupted him in mid-sentence and told him that I wanted a tea. Then, as a joke, I asked him if that was simple enough for him. My date actually laughed at that.
Bottom line, c0ck-blocking is an extreme form of disrespect and you should not tolerate it (unless it's a girl that you've just met and she's with a group of friends, in which case there isn't much you can do).
Wow. What a b!tch. What was her problem? Did she know you or something? Maybe she had it out for you.Mike32ct said:By a 50 yo woman.

She pulls my date aside and talks to her for like a half hour. This old bytch ignores HER date who is about ten years younger than her btw.
I finished up my drink and left all of them. Even the bartender guy whispered to me as I left, "What's up with that old kunt lol?"
My date tried to text me later to see what happened. I was texting my buddy at the time to share this F-ed up story. I texted, "Are you still up?" I sent it to my date by mistake lol. She must have thought it was another plate booty text haha. She got pissed off and never spoke to me again.
I never bothered with much younger women after that. Too much age drama.
No, it was my first time at that bar. We absolutely did not know each other.El Payaso said:Wow. What a b!tch. What was her problem? Did she know you or something? Maybe she had it out for you.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
