"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.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Okay, so recently I have been on some first/second dates where I have eye contact that lasts a little bit longer than normal... in other words I'm looking at her from a few feet awaywith bedroom eyes (and usually a naughty grin) thinking that I want to kiss her. She's looking back at me, and suddenly says something like...

"What?!"

or

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Or both.

They're usually smiling when they say this, but what the ****? This totally throws of my rhythm. I no longer feel the urge to kiss her at this point, and instinctively counter with something like "you looked at me first." It gets her laughing and gets her on the defensive but... it breaks the tension. I definitely can't kiss her at this point.

Not to mention, whenever this moment happens, there's a bit of physical distance between us, and there's no kino. I know that if I just stepped up to her, she'd probably get alarmed and pull away.

So is it normal for a girl to say something like this at a potential kiss close moment? Am I doing something wrong, or is this a **** test and I need to throw my balls on the line and just kiss her already?!

I have a feeling I just answered my own question.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You say with a sly grin. "You know " .
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

OP, I think you're really dead-on. You are doing great until that response and you know how to get beyond it. You have to cross this line to improve your game.

hey sir shinra, i know that line. maybe i just handled the situation well or it may have been because i was feeling like i was on top of the world having 3 women actively pursuing me at the same time or lastly i had a few drinks one of the times it happened.

But how i approached the situation was a bit different and i got a kiss out of it.

hb:why are you looking at me like that? (smiling)

i was basically just dozing off staring at her and didn't notice.

AAA:Don't move, i think i see something. (i acted serious and had a serious face on)

HB: what do you see?
AAA: Hold on a second, don't move. (i lean in slowly toward her as if i'm looking at something. she doesn't dare move either because she think's i'm trying to get a bug or remove something in her hair that is stuck)
AAA:(*smooch* on the cheek and back off like it was nothing) Never mind, it was nothing.

After the laugh ended, we had this deep gaze and i just went in because she basically gave me the ok.
