"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.

howdy,

i've been swinging back and forth between thinking that i can really do this and thinking oh god, how'm i ever going to do this.

but TWO things keep me from despair - consolation prizes that are my 'safety net' if i fail completely and miss the window of opportunity afforded to me.

1. matchmaking services... i found this one from a book that i got http://www.itsjustlunch.com/ ... it's $1500 a year and they set you up on a couple of dates a month for the year. it's not a negligible expense but it could keep you from slitting your wrists.

2. go caveman on the process and cash in your citizenship. it is LITERALLY the modern day equivalent of taking a big stick and whacking a chick over the head with it and dragging her off to your cave. but if it keeps you from slitting your wrists, it's a good thing right?

"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.

alas, i don't think i'm in that group yet... also, if guys have this as a real possibility, i don't think they'd be in danger of blowing their brains out.
