"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 have a goal of owning and running a small/personal business within the next three years, and owning a successful company that I can "step back" from within the next 5-8 years.

This isn't out of the blue, I've had this notion for years now, but only since entering university and realizing that I'll be released into the wild in 3 years that it's time to start acting now.

I'm wondering if there are any people here who have started their own business from scratch, and if so, how did you take those first steps?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Yes, I run my own business(music industry), as well as work part-time for a company for medical, dental, and other benefits. The way I got it started, was, I met with a lawyer, who worked out all my copyright info. and registered it for me. It's relatively easy to start up. There was a fee to start it up, which wasn't too bad. The only problem is the beginning stages of the business...as you know, every business starts off slow, until you get your name out there and build up a steady clientele.

Your location listed G.C so i assumed you'd be studying at Griffith, however, can't say i can do much for you, most of my buddies are in the medical field at Griffith and the others are students studying similar subjects. Sorry mate.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
