"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 i got this work mate, who joined the company with me, we call him James.
now James is from NZ now living in Sydney.
he's usually pretty cool, we play ball after work and grab lunch and check out chics all the time.
when we go clubbing he's got his game face on and he's always getting numbrs down. it also helps to say that he plays rugby and has his boyish looks and charm overall the ladies in the office say he looks very hot.

BUT

on his last visit to NZ a month ago, James meets a beautiful girl, Hannah.
now Hannah is eurasian.and is very beautiful, i seen pics she is. James is Christian staunchly, Hannah is muslim fanatically he says, like the ones you see at the "save palestine" bs marches etc..

James is taken back by the person Hannah is and has gotten very serious and now wants to leave his amazing job, in Sydney and go back home to be with Hannah.

He says Hannah doesnt want him to move for her, but if he does they can move in with each other and rainbow...he says he has mentioned her moving here to which she agrees somedays and disagrees some but she'll think of moving after her study, 1 yr timeframe..james is impatient.

my advice to him has been:
1. you're moving countries for a girl you've known 2 months.
2. you're leaving an absolute banger of a job here that pays you way to much for your simple mind.
3. future career prospects is hit miss, you may get a job in NZ as good as this but you may not.
4. Shes muslim, you're Christian, you're dead when her cousins,uncles,brothers find out.lol

his answer:
1. i dont have friends or family here except for you.
2. i dont care about career because i know i can find a job in NZ easy.
3. my NZ job may not be as well paying as this, but atleast ill be with my old friends, family and hannah
4. im hoping me and her can sort out the differences..

now i usually give up at this stage but i think he has his pro's and i have my cons about the move. i cant stop him from moving.
but on talkin to him he has said he'll give this job and sydney 6 months to like. if not he is moving back to NZ.

what do you guys think?
 

"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 reason i asked today is because i came in this morning and he was sittin here. at 7am. like wtf you doing this early in?

he's pissed and frustrated coz he spoke to her all night last night apparantly and he's mad he had to end the call.

he tells me he's so keen to just drop everything right now and move back.

now i not hating because i can see he likes this girl alot but ive told him this.

have you thought about smoothly dumpin her??
he says even if he wanted to, he doesnt know how to.

i asked him if he would stay if he had a gf here?
yes!!!! i love sydney.

so obviously he's moving for her, then his friends.

i dunno
