"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.

Have you ever gone so far with a C&F comment that the girl got pissed off? I'm not talking about while picking up but with girls that you had some dates with.
Last night I was talkng on IM with a girl, she's the type of person that shows off, for example she likes to talk about the guys that like her as if trying to make me jealous or something. She told me she was going to a male-friend's and that they were "going to watch a movie" at his house (She used quotes to say this). So i told her "oh yeah that reminds me, i have to buy condoms" to which she replied "i dont really care, I don't need to know that" then I replied with "yeah b/c you dont even know a condom is". she got pretty pissed off at this saying that I dont know her private life and other similar stuff along with curse words. She ended up blocking me from aol and myspace.
The point is I'm wondering if the C&F comment itself was rude enough to make her hate me or is it other parts of the relationship that could've made a rude c&F be the last straw?
Has anybody had a similar experience. Please share thanx.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The lack of ability to express tonality and body language makes IMs a pretty bad medium to run game. Things that would normally have a girl laughing in person or on the phone can be taken seriously over IM and pissing her off.

Or maybe she's just on the rag. ;)

Example from me a couple years ago, when C&F went bad over IM:

girl: You're not a player, are you?
me: I've never answered that question without getting into trouble
girl: Well I don't associate with players

d'oh...never recovered from that either, and earlier we were talking about showering together..oh well, rack it up to experience...

well, noobpimp, it doesn't go right when (just like serialized said) you don't express it in the right tone and **** like that. What you can do over an AIM is always add "?!?!" when you ask her something thats C&F so that she knows you aren't really being serious, and if the girl does get mad at you for being C&F you can always say "jeez, somebody can't take a joke, how do people hang out with you?" then laugh. There is always the C&F serious approach which is basically what it sounds like. You can be C&F and be serious about what you are talking about because the bigger the lie, the more likely they are to believe it (citation is paradigm artisan, not me on that last part).
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Your problem was you did this on AIM.

Were you going to run kino tests over AIM too?

Being fun and busting her balls requires being there and being able to use 93% of body language with her (body language, voice tonality) not being on AIM.

Just move on like it was nothing. Don't go back and revisit this with her, just keep moving forward.

I was going to post this as a seperate thread, but am now going to piggy on this one. I did a bit of c&f and am not sure if I overdid it or not.

So a customer comes into my store yesterday... a real cutie who I've been slowly chatting up in a distinctly non-flirty fashion for a few weeks.

She's a waitress, and starts complaining about not making enough money. Says that maybe she'll have to start stripping. I laugh and say that it can be a pretty good way to make cash *if* you're built for it (sarcastic "if") to which she laughs out loud and goes "fvck you".

Anyhow we chat for a minute or two more, I point out this movie that she's renting and ask if it was a messed up movie (about a girl who cuts herself). She says yes... and is on her way out the door (getting a bus) when she says back
"maybe I'll end up cutting myself because of it".

She's almost out the door when I reply "well, that's not going to help your stripping career" which gets another laugh... but she's practically out the door.

My question: was this working? I know I didn't get a number or anything... but do you think she was offended? It was hard to tell because maybe she was laughing defensively.

Any suggestions where to take this next time?

Noob, haha, that was actually a very good and funny response!! Quick witted!

But hors don't like others implying that they are hors thus her dissatisfaction! Don't worry, there are other hors in the sea, and on land, and in the air!!!
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking 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.

Sounds like you did okay to me, next time get her number or email, then let the chase begin
