"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, in casual convo, she says she's about to break up because of this or that.
Obviously this isn't public info, or should not be. So it makes me think...
Is this possible branch swing, attention seeking, or my own projections of being da man since I did lose a little weight and am feeling myself hahaha.
Any similar stories?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Elaborate on this.
Girls who don't have boyfriends say "I have a boyfriend" when they want to put you off. Girls who tell you they'll be single soon want to be hit on, OR want to use you as their friendzoned listening b.tch. Don't listen to anything else on the matter. Just hit on her.
 

"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.

You seem like you've been here before. Any flirting tips? More touchy, less vocal.
I know touch goes a long way.

I would spring a last-minute date on her, like call her 2 hours before on a Wednesday or Thursday and tell her you're on your way out to check out a bar or restaurant and invite her along. Don't listen to any of her relationship crap, just loosen her up with drinks, flirt and see what happens. You don't want it to sound like you've been thinking about it a long time.
