"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.

So, this girl I'm seeing was at my house last night. She was in a wreck recently, and earlier yesterday, some pieces of her car fell off and slashed her tire and one of her headlights went out. She said she was afraid to drive her car and I told her that she could stay the night. She said she couldn't do that. I told her it was no big deal but she told me her mom doesn't let her do that. I know her family is religious, but this girl is almost twenty. Shouldn't she be able to make decisions like this on her own?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

From my experience, what it looks like is that she just wasn't feeling you man OR...OR, if you had a great sexual chemistry going on, she could have been telling the truth.

What I would have did was just fvcked her and then told her to call her ride. Why did you want her spending the night anyway? How long have you know her? In the beginning, just fvck them man...it will save you a lot of money, time, and hardache...why can't guys just do that??

There was no ride for her to call. She drove to my place. As for me wanting her to spend the night. Why not? She said she was afraid to drive her car. It sounded like she was trying to tell me something, so I thought I'd make a suggestion. It wasn't even my idea to hang out last night. She called ME.

You should have made up a good story so her parents wouldn't have found out the real reason she was over.
 

"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.

She's working with a different set of values than your own, no big deal unless you make it one. Either accept it (maybe she'll change it someday) or leave it.
