"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.

Awkward situation I need to take advantage of.

Hey guys.

Ok, so the other night me and a good friend went for a swim at the local leisure centre, which is where he works. I met one of his colleagues there who was easily an 8, so I promptly started a conversation with her and obtained her number.

As it turns out, this girl is on a 'break' with her boyfriend of a few months and my friend has now warned me off, at least for a while until she sorts out this situation with her boyfriend. Personally, I believe that considering she gave me her number, there should be no reason why I shouldn't contact her. Clearly things can't be good with her boyfriend if they're on a break, so why shouldn't I have my turn? Having said that, I also don't want to go against my friends wishes. Bros before hoes, and all that...

So, what would you do..?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I'd say bros. Risking a solid friendship for a chick I just met? No thanks.

Sounds like your 'friend' is tryna **** block you.

'Bros before hoes' is one of the worst sayings that has lingered around. Most of your friends would fvck you over for some girl first chance they get. You will find that only true alpha friends are the ones that will respect you enough not to fvck you over. I hope your good buddy is one of them.

YOU before anyone would be a better motto.


She gave you the number, she's on a 'break' from her bf of a 'few months'.
TRANSLATION = She's scoping the landscape for some new guy, you have a chance to build on this. Its up to you to decide how to use it.

unless your friend has already had her and objects to you moving in, I say go for it.

I agree, if he's your bro, he'd want you to get some. Hit that sh!t
 

"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.

Confused here. Why is your friend concerneed about you trying to hit it? Does he know this girl? Is he friends with the guy on a break? Does he know some sordid history about her? I'm only curious as to why your friends is saying do go there because he may actually have a good warning for you to avoid a littany of problems.

You're right, I should have gone into a bit more detail. He knows both the girl and her on/off boyfriend, they all work at the same place. So I suppose he knows a lot more about the situation than I do. I don't think he has his own intentions with this girl.... I can't be 100% certain, but I'm quite sure. I suspect he's simply concerned about her feelings and whether me talking to her with complicate things further. I don't think it will, but whatever.

You're not friends with her boyfriend. Your good friend WORKS with him, but no mention of whether or not her boyfriend and your friend are friends. She gave you her number. Are you seriously asking for help here?

She is a big girl. She is capable of making her own choices, and it's either going to be you or him. Better make it you.

You're missing an opportunity. She's fair f*cking game, son. Sieze upon her moment of weakness.

Besides, they work together. DJ 101 says that dating within the workplace is a bad idea.

Haha, fair play man, perhaps I was over thinking things. I think my friend simply telling me not to contact her yet has over complicated what should be an incredibly easy situation.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

If your friend does not make women's panties moist on a constant basis, don't listen to what he has to say.

Agreed. I dont see how your friendship is at risk by dating her. so you should be getting in contact with her right now, regardless if she's back with bf or not. Call me crazy, but I've noticed that girls with bf's get horny as much as single girls. Weird huh? And here's the kicker, sometimes they f*uck other guys too!
