"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 think the title speaks for itself. Ive been lurking on this site for a while, and I know its all about thinking positive and having an aura of confidence - but lately Ive gone in the opposite direction and I don't know how to stop it.

I know that I have plenty of things going for me in my life. I have career goals (I plan to go to grad school), I have hobbies, plenty of friends and acquiescence's, etc, but lately Ive become so intimidated and self-conscious around people I'm constantly trying to watch what I say, do...so I end up in the background, retreating from a lot of social interactions.

I think I'm starting to have a real problem, and I don't want to keep going down this path. My thoughts are constantly in the negative. The reasons why this has happened are entirely unclear to me, but I don't want to be like this.

I think I just need some words of inspiration...
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Do you know what self-confidence really means? People can't get it when they don't know what it is.

You've got to believe in yourself. You have to see value in yourself (I say it all the time now). You have to know that you are one of a kind and there is no one else like you. It's your life, and you own it. Make it the best, and don't take any less. Don't let other people define who you are. Don't talk in ways that say, "I'm not good enough," like saying, "please return my call". You will not get respect if you don't respect yourself.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
