"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.

I have been noticing quite a few threads being started about C&F. If you do a search or even just take a look at new posts you see it all the time lately...

How to convey C&F

Negging and C&F not working

I am coming off to strong and look like an jerk

...the problem with this is that people are TRYING to convey and come across with something that is completely unnatural to them.

C&F works PERFECTLY for me because that is just apart of my OVERALL personality. If i am in a conversation and i use it, it is natural.

now on the other hand if I were in mid conversation and decided to stop speaking and use a silent aggressive type attitude it wouldnt be natural and come off extremely "weird".

IMO, its not a switch that you can cut on and off in the middle of a conversation, thats why some of you seem to be looking like arses.

a couple other things...

If you arent really that comfortable using a little C&F, try to be careful what you are saying to people sometimes until you are comfortable. For example dont make fun of anything that seems personal. Material things are pretty easy to tease people about.

the bottom line is you have to gradually get comfortable. and if its not something that fits your specific personality, then you will always come off weird, a jerk, and anything else that i have been reading in some threads.

your thoughts welcome..
 

"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.

yeah it's all about congruency

C&F is one many tricks to cultivate attraction, but it's gotta feel natural for the guy doing it - it's gotta be congruent with your personality and what you find fun to do in an interaction

on top of that, a lot of guys end up misapplying these tricks because they don't understand when to use them

Yeah seriously, don't even listen to David D when he tells you to constantly just bust her balls, he must be workin' with those freaky freaky girls but for most of us it's a different story.

David Deangelo is a virgin. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Yeah, you don't want to come off as mean. Pick your spots and make your C&F more of a teasing manner than crude...
 

"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.

I said it before . . . What good does it do to double your dating if you're currently dating zero?

I agree, sometimes people try to be witty funny ( **** & funny) with everything they say and chicks realize this and can be redundant....boring.
