"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.

Argh! Missed out on HB10 because I was with a girl

I missed out what I can, with ease, say was the hottest girl I've seen in recent memory. What's worse, I could've number-closed her!

This has burned me a few times. Going to a public place (like a social, in this case) with a chick I'm smoothing over and bam! There's a hotter prospect available!

What a pain... ever had this happen to you? I'm constantly climbing the ladder, and man, nothing pisses me off than a wasted opportunity. Anyone else have same experience? Maybe there was a tactful way to get the number...
 

"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.

Yeah, I know... I thing guys on this board terribly overrated girls on the "HB" scale, and here I am making the same mistake. Heh, oh well.

While we are on the topic... STOP POSTING STUPID SH1T LIKE HB4, HB3, HB5. HB6. What the hell, how is "a three" suddenly "the hot babe"?

Use HB when the girl is 8-9, not when she looks like an obese burn victim.

And yes, HB10's do exist. Stop worrying about putting women on the piedestal. It is stupid. I used to be the same way..."NOOOO way she is a 10, there are no 10's!" Well buddy, then 9 is your piedistal now.. Start using all the numbers, and go ahead and say that girl was an HB10..

Seeings as its all relative, a HB10 is entirely possible :cool:
 

"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, let's put it this way. I see hot girls on an every day basis. This girl fulfilled my every standard of hotness... clothing, rack, body, voice, moves... a lesser me would be reduced to a quivering lump of crap before her.

Now I'm just pissed because I didn't get the number when the opportunity presented itself. And yes, the 'HB' is utterly useless.
