"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.

"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.

What the hell does that mean?


Why would...

...how do I word this?


If you ....



Hold On. I have to read this article again. What the hell is the point that it's trying to make!?

*reads*


This makes me want to vomit. You're pretty much trying to say "it didn't happen and that person who's hymen broke was not me". It happened, or else you wouldn't spend so much time trying to think that it didn't happen. Can a person who murders someone say "I didn't murder anyone. I'm born again! Never happened!"

Also the article states that some women feel cheap. Well, if you base your whole self image on your first time then that might be a problem. Why can't you use it as a learning experience?

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
I've heard the term, "born-again virgin" before. Hell, I don't even like "born-again Christians"...they refuse to own up to what they've done and instead say, "The Devil made me do it". Part of "repentance" is to acknowledge that you're imperfect and have sinned and WILL sin again, and that only the mercy of God can save you.

As for "born-again virgins"...if I meet one...not interested. Sex feels weird enough without having to deal with someone's pyscho-social hang-ups.

The sad thing is that there will probably be some guy that will buy her BS.
