"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.

Curious if you guys ever flake out on a chick on purpose, not in retaliation to being flaked on, but when wanting to test interest, and when detecting unenthusiasm and what not.

Did this with a chick today that has been making it a pain to make plans with, being unresponsive and what not. And funnily noticed an instant attitude change when I broke off our plans for tonight.

So you guys ever do this? Good tactic once in a while?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I rarely flake, because I tend to actually want to see the women that I make dates with.

Flip side of that coin is that I never make dates with women who flake or otherwise show flaky behavior.

I think in my entire life, only two or three girls have ever flaked on me. If a girl wants to go out, she'll go out.

No... Rather than push/pull, I pull back on purpose. I won't flake on a date, but might not always agree to one, cut it short, or push it back. It has the same effect, but doesn't make you look undependable or flakey. It does make you look busy and with other priorities, though that's just an added bonus (you should be these things already).

Well in this case here I didn't cut things off and leave them closed like some flakes will do. I told her some things came up that I had to take care of and that we will do it another day, at least leaving it open ended.

I like her physically, but her personality is just sucking with me, and even though she has been consistently seeing me, I'm still on the fence with her interest level. I don't think it's disinterest but she strikes me as one of those ones with issues and is not a happy person.

I don't want to be around an unhappy chick and am hoping that if I entice her to chase me she'll show some more enthusiasm around me. I'm at the point where I'm tired of trying with her and am gonna let her come to me. If she doesn't oh well.

In the mean time I'll focus on others and keep busy with other stuff I got going on.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I have thought about flaking out on a few plates that were not pulling their weight. I have done the whole "sorry I can't do tonight as something has come, hopefully next time shouldn't be a problem".

One girl who suddenly stopped talking to me a few months back and went into a RL with some dude, dropped me a FB message saying "long time" 2 days ago. Am I going to reply? Am I fvck - straight to the trash can!

I'll flake if I don't have that much interest in meeting the girl and there's something else I'd rather do that day/evening. That's about it

I flaked once. After the scotch wore off, I realized she was a 5 rather than an 8. I demoted her after I got my eyesight back and noticed her teeth. She could eat corn on the cobb through a picket fence.

Nasty.

"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.

Well I guess this worked.

She texted me this afternoon asking how I was doing. Told her fine, asked how she was. Then asked what her plans were for this weekend, she said work til Sunday, no plans yet, then asked if I had any. Said that's cool, going out with a friend tomorrow, then getting another tattoo Friday. Held off and like 30 mins later she initiated plans with me and all of a sudden seems more enthusiastic to see me. My main goal for this was to see if the interest level was really there cause I don't want to waste any time with someone where it's not.
