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.

Well then now we are back to our original question-why give out the number in the first place if you have no interest?Johnnyventana said:She may also not feel the connection, but isn't looking to fk you.

You make the good impresssion before the number close, so she actually does want to see you again. Make her want to hang out with you, not the other way around. She should be asking you when your free to hang, not the other way around. She should be begging you to free up your busy life to spend 1 precious hour with her just getting coffee so she can try and impress you and prove she is worthy of your attention.JPlaya said:well how you suppose to make a good impression if you can't get a date?
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.
Another thing for me, that's pretty much in the same vein, is when girls say OMG WE NEED TO HANG OUTTIC said:I think its stupid for women to give out their numbers but never follow up on it. You get their number send a few texts back and then she just stops responding. Why? Just don't give it out... you stupid b1tch
This is baffling to men. Men would never do such a thing. We are logical
On the other hand, a very large portion of men in this country need to gtfo because women have too many options which is the root cause of the flaking. Maybe if WW3 happens soon, we will become like russia and men will be in short supply because the rest died off in wars
Yup, it would literally take a world war for things to be fair in the dating scene for men
In all honesty, its really hard to make that good of an impression in a bar/club setting. You simply don't have the time or any kind of common bond other than drinking. Flake rates from bars are ALWAYS going to be sky high no matter what. For a lot of people its the only way to meet girls which is fine but you just simply need to accept that its a numbers game and you'll always have a low success rate getting numbers at bars.JPlaya said:well how you suppose to make a good impression if you can't get a date?
Not all guys are lucky enough that they're born with game (or common sense), or reach epiphanys luck Sosuave and other sites; most are exposed to the BS of western America, treating women like Queens everywhere. It almost seems like a conspiracy to me; maybe I've got selective perception, but I notice many commercials about anything, usually involving a husband and wife where the wife is complaining about the husband being a loser, or it is subtly displayed in the sketch.JdelaSilviera said:No Tic, you don´t need www3. Men just need to learn to live without sex, raise their standards, and stop pursuing any girl they talk to. If men continue to behave like horny dogs, women control will continue. The less care bout sex, the more you´ll have.
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.
