"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.

hey guys im i would say an ametuer singer i think im good but not really sure. if there are other people here that are good singers how did you find out that your good?

I have recorded myself and i sound pretty good is this a good enough indication?

I would say my voice is most suited to rock type music, if there are any people here that are singers in a band what would be some advice in finding a band to sing with?
 

"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.

Like most things this is subjective and in the ear of the beholder..

But, have you sung in front of other people before?

What was their reponse?

If no one has ever complemented you on having a nice voice then you probably need to take voice lessons. Of course that wouldn't be a bad idea anyway, cuz we all develope bad habits (esp if your self taught) that need to be corrected.

I'm a singer/musician too, I sing and play five instruments! I have a four octave range!

But, I've been at it since I was 12 yrs old..

Have you ever heard of speech level singing????

I sing and play guitar in a rock band. As far as my voice, i'm considered advanced and have developped a great tone with lots of harmonics.

My advice would be to find a vocal coach and get some training. It'll be well worth it. He/She will help you broaden your range and make your pitch really accurate. I never sing a note out of tune, ever, and the tone of my voice is alot fuller and warmer than before I had my coach.

i sound like Rob Thomas, some say.

Genetics play a big part in your sound. You can only work with what "god" gave you.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I can pull off a half decent Jack White, then again I've never really practiced vocals.

How much does it usually run for a decent vocal coach per session?
