"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.

As you date someone you get away and let them get away with more.. some quirks some bad ideas, etc. At which point do you think you are as close to not being able to mess it up - where they accept you as you are no matter what? Marriage, after 10 years? 20? It has to be awhile has anyone reached that point, besides telling her you slept with her sister and mother, and want to sleep with underage girls, is there anything that could mess it up?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

What? That's like asking "at what point can you just lie down and die?" or your wife asking "at what point can I become a complete fat shrew who never puts out?" you can do it when ever you want to, but just be willing to face the consequences.

At no point. 100% comfort is boring anyway, so it's a good thing.

Tho I have a question- do women EVER tell us everything?

do you think they ever will? esp. in marriage

I think you can get it out of them. At any time.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You can ALWAYS **** up a relationship no matter what. My best friend from childhood seemingly had the picture perfect family. His Mom and Dad seemed very much in love and they'd been married for 25 years and had 3 kids.

A couple of years ago, I was shocked to learn that they got divorced. Now both his parents have remarried. His mother recently added me on Facebook and it was so weird because since my early childhood, I'd been calling her Mrs. Cooper. But that was no longer her name.

The only person who will love you unconditionally is your mother (if you have a good mother). Every other person you know can and will leave you if you fvck up. Let's put it this way: when Timothy McVeigh was set to be executed, who was there for him in his final moments? Only his mother. Every other person in his life had disowned him (as he should have been).
