It’s a problem I see almost daily, women complaining about men asking for their phone numbers but instead of the men using that number to make plans for a date, they are sending the dreaded “WYD?” text.
WYD stands for “What you doing?” Yes, not only do these men seem to have forgotten proper grammar, but also seem unwilling to take the time to write out, “What are you doing?” I guess if you do not have time to write out a simple question you may not have time to date.
Admittedly, things like this do make dating seem like a dying art. It would seem that if a man went through the effort of getting a woman’s phone number, he would take the next logical step to make plans. However, right now there is an epidemic of men who get a woman’s phone number and then begin WYD’n her to death. Many women are wondering exactly what is going on here.
Men who do this are not genuinely interested in the women they do this to. They don’t really want to date the women. If they did they would make an effort to see them. Yes, he asked for your phone number. However, if he really wanted to spend time with you, he would get on your schedule because, “Men make time for who they want.” – Date Like A Woman. It’s really that plain and simple.
That is why it is so important to only accept dates from men who, “ask you out respectfully, engagingly, and with genuine interest” – Date Like A Woman. Without these three things you are more likely to get a guy who will be WYD’n you to death.
What’s the best way to meet men who are respectful, engaging, and are genuinely interested in you? In person. I know, I know, folks really do not want to give up on their online dating but seriously, it’s not as great for women! Men online are usually not genuinely interested in ONE woman. Men can click a few buttons and get the attention of multiple women. This is also why you are much more likely to run into WYD guys online because it’s MUCH harder to gauge genuine interest online. I am not saying a genuine online contact cannot happen but the chances of it happening are RARE. So, if you want a better dating life, I HIGHLY recommend you get out there with confidence and meet men! It will save you a lot of disappointment later.
What if you do meet a man while out and he immediately starts WYD’n you? Easy, you move on! Yes, that is the solution ladies. If a man cannot make plans with you, just move on. It’s just that simple. Remember, “Pay attention to the men who pay attention to you.” “Keep it moving!” – Date Like A Woman…the best dating book for women!!!
