"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.

It's like a pissed off motivation. I know I didn't handle the phone call well. It was like this:

Her: *bullshiz excuse.* "Maybe some other time"
Me: "Yeah, maybe next week... actually, nevermind. I'll talk to you some other time."

But, I ended up going through the phone list and finding someone else to go to out with, then went out and saw a live band play and met a bunch of new people. Turned out better than if the plans went through.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Haha, motived! I love it. Good for you... that's a pretty positive thing to turn out of a flake.

LOL, so spelling isn't one of my strong suits.

I've done the same thing in the past to when it's happened. It's just like, "B!tch, I'll show you" type of deal even though they'll never know. haha It's also 100x better than sitting at home going, "This sucks. Why did this happen"
