"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.

when you're on a date and she asks u if you're seeing anyone else or have a gf.. what should you say?

if you're evasive she'll take it as a bad sign that you are.. if you say you are then she feels like she isn't special then won't see you. it's like a lose lose situation. what is the best response for this?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

"not currently"

meaning right now I'm only seeing her, but I might be seeing someone else last night or tomorrow.

I like to play with words. I'm not lying but I'm giving her the wrong impression.

Hey man,why are you on the defensive? You make it seem as if she has you backed into a corner with no way out,or as you put it,in a lose-lose situation.
It's as if you're at a police station in a smoke filled room with two detectives standing over you interogating you,asking you question after question trying to get you to crack and confess something.

Jump up out of that chair and throw her into it. Turn the tables on her. Get out of her frame and suck her into yours. Start asking her some questions.Let me give you a example of what to do if she asks you if you seeing someone:

Her: Hey,are you seeing anyone else right now?
You: Wooah,Wooah,hold up a second. Ain't that a bit personal? I mean this is just a first date. I don't even know you yet,and you're ALREADY talking about relationships? If you want to go there,alright cool,let's go there. Are YOU seeing anybody right now? Are YOU in a relationship with somebody?
What,are you feeling guilty or something?

That's all you have to do. Flip it around on her. Instead of you being with your back against the wall with no way out,put it on her. Maybe then she'll shut up about serious relationship topics and just enjoy the date.

Intentionally misleading someone is lying. Not trying to be abrasive but that's a real cunt move.



To the OP:

It's none of her business really plus she has to earn whatever it is she is trying to get from you which in this case is a promise of exclusivity. Tell the truth but no need to rub her nose in it and hurt her pride.

I generally say something like "I have a lot of friends, some I'm closer to than others, I think that's healthy" or some variation on that. It lets her know the score without forcing her to respond to the obvious. It's not lose lose anymore, it's a challenge for her now.

My advice, don't lie but don't provoke a fight over something that can be defused. If your personal values let you feel OK about telling lies to a girl to get in her pants then disregard what I suggest.

Talk about defensive
 

"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.

If she asks you if you have a girlfriend, tell her, with a smile, girls come and go.

Then mess with her and say " but lately there's Carmen, man she's got huge t!ts, and Leslie, mmm, cute @ss, but compared to you they're just plain Janes.

Her: "Do you have a girlfriend right now?"

Me: "Why? You know someone that wants the job?"

E-Z.

"I'm young, attractive, successful etc. ...You didn't think it was going to be that easy did you?" Eye contact, smirk and hold.

"I see people all the time, I saw my mother this morning, my sister this afternoon....don't you see people, or am I just a big sexy piece of meat in your eyes?"

"Girlfriend? NO, Girl FRIENDS, plural. Don't you have acquaintances of the opposite sex?"

Just don't take/answer the question seriously. If she presses, continue to flip the script.

"i like to keep my options open"
in a C+F funny tone, your body language must do all the talking
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
