"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.

Given that we shouldn't text a girl every day, the right number of days to communicate is probably 3 or 4, with 6 the max. This is like At-bats for a hitter in a baseball game. Likewise, the girl should initiate at least some of those days, if not most. Those are like hits in a baseball game.

Seen week over week, if you write down the number of times she initiated versus the number of times she replied to your text, it looks a lot like games for a batter in a baseball season:

H - AB
----------
1-4
2-2
1-1
0-2
3-4
-------
7-13 (.538)

When you have a slump, you'll see this:

2-4
1-4
0-2
0-4
------
3-14 (.214)


When you are on a roll you'll see this:

2-2
3-4
3-3
-------
8-9 (.888)

Use this as a way to measure whether your fantasy league stats are trending up or down. Bench yourself (go NC) when you are slumping (0 for 0 doesn't affect your average).

PS - You might also calculate slugging percentage (how often you score per text).
 

"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.

Why do you care so much? Who cares about your "batting average"? Stop over-analyzing it. Dating women is not rocket science.

No contact is meant as a way of getting over an ex or nexting a girl. Not figuring out some mathematical equation based on how many girls are texting you back in a week.

Why worry so much? Why "count" your texts and see your batting average? This is over-analyzation at it's finest. Something a LOT of guys on this board are guilty of...myself included. Posts like these encourage micro-managing your love-life when we should all be living in the present.

Just keep spinning plates and make sure you are learning from your mistakes.

P.S. Calculating your slugging percentage? Come on man. Thats stupid.

Different strokes for different folks ... If you micro manage your crap fine , dont do the game then


I if anything under analyze crap , i don't care , so if i wanna play a game with how much interest i have from a girl when she texts me so what .

stop making it out like this is gonna ruin your game or something , I still don't understand your up tight stance on it ....
