"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 Isn't She Jealous?

"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.

I agree with the others who say she is out playing you.
Mainly because of these three things you said below:

- She has hinted at an extensive dating history.
- She has more male friends than female friends.
- She doesn't call me.

Looks like she has plenty of other options and her interest is low.
You can't really outplay a female who is a good player, just because of the natural male/female dynamic. A woman who reels guys in can get a practically unlimited number of men interested in her.

If she's not calling you she may be a "Rules Girl." The Rules tell women to never call men. Personally, I find these women to be a bore. I expect them to call me every now and then and I will get bored and move on if I feel like I'm doing all the work.

She's still close to her last ex-boyfriend. The guy apparently talks about me and still wants to be a part of her life. She wants to keep him around.

That was the deal breaker.

Thank you all for your input. I'm moving on to better things.

she's probably using her ex as a jealousy generator in order to have an upper hand against you. i don't see her to stop playing games in the near future. you made a good move.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
