"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.

So far I gotta say I've really come a long way since September. Since I got laid a few times this summer (and had a one-night stand on Halloween last week) I've really not been making poon the center of my life this semester. College has pretty much become the focal point of my life, I'm meeting people left and right, and the list of girls I'm pursuing is almost always full (I try to keep it around 5...not too honed to deal with 10 at a time yet).

I've noticed that I'm GREAT with the diva types, since I don't let anybody get away with ****. I come across as confident...maybe just a little too much, and I've found that it's great for weeding out the "I'm a woman, be a gentleman, waaaaah" types.

Where I run into problems, though, is with the introverted and nice types (I have a bit of a nerd fixation, so they make up about half of my current plates). Since they don't do as much **** testing and tend to be polite the entire time, it's like I have nothing to build chemistry with. This isn't good, as it plants the 'nice guy' seed. I do NOT want that getting around.

Thoughts? Tips?
 

"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.

are you more introverted or extroverted?
Socially able introvert. I mostly keep to myself and like smaller circles of close friends. When I do get out there, though, I'm easily mistaken for an extrovert...I'm almost too confident. Your average Mako shark is shier than I am.

You are a champ, although you made a mean remark about my post. haha
 

"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.
