"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.

WTF Did I go Wrong?

I have been dating this girl for the last 2 months or so, and very recently she's been very cold. We haven't hung out in the last two weeks, and have had very minimal contact.

She said she's very busy with school and work, and doesn't have much money right now. Understandable, but I mean, it costs nothing to come over and watch a DVD, have sex, etc. Seems fishy.

Prior to this she was all over me, inviting me to spend weeknights with her. I spent the last couple weekends up North with her and we had good times. We were intimate and enjoyed one another's company. No sex though. I've gotten close with her.

What's the deal? Has she lost ALL interest or what? I'm really confused about this because I wasn't clingy at all and we've always had fun in each other's company. Secondly, I think of myself as a pretty cool guy, that has a good sense of humor, and generally girls don't just lose interest...I'm not used to this at all.

The last time we talked, late last week, she said she's working 9 days in a row, and that she's busy. I basically told her that when she's not busy to call me, because I wouldn't be calling her. How's my play?

I really want to do something with her soon, but feel handcuffed because I told her to call me.

At what point do I just say "Fvck It" and call her up?
 

"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.

LMS - No, we have never had sex. Where in my post would you conclude that we have had sex?

Docs - I've tried a couple times to get together with her, and it hasn't happened. Interestingly, she invited me over one night a week and a half ago, but I declined because I was busy. I think this bugged her because she's made it a point to be "busy" all the time now.

I feel like if I'm the one who keeps calling it's going to alienate her and make me look clingy or something. I'm not really sure.

I don't want to play a "hard to get" game and see who can hold out on calling the other longest. That's stupid.

ok - no sex. Maybe she is just very busy and/or maybe there are other dudes jockeying for her time and you are but one of many. In any case, you did the right thing - do not call her - she knows you are interested so no need to keep calling her and being a pest!! She is not stupid - let her make the next move!

Women are never too busy for a man! So there may be others involved!
 

"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.

Then call her. It's only a hey, what's up.

I wouldn't be so sure. This is how girls break up with me. At some point, you have to take the hint and give up.

If you want to really make sure, the next time you talk, say, "so you're done with work in 9 days? How about we celebrate at . . . . "

I'm guessing she'll say, "well, um er that depends on a lot of things uhhh, call me back that day and we'll see." If she does this, or cancels on you, it's defininitely over.

Well, you could be right.

I talked to her today about joining me in some Salsa lessons, and she obliged. A good sign...
