"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.

Hey,

Anyone ever been? Whats it like for a white guy who does not speak Portugese?

My friend said to go during Carnivale if I want to kiss lots of girls. Whats it like throughout the year vs Carnivale if anyone has been.

Over-rated? Where else do you recommend as party places?
 

"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.

Are you planning to just go on your own or with friends?

A lonely "white" guy who doesn´t speak portuguese can be a target in both good ways and bad ways. Sure, some chicks will dig the "blond blue-eyed gringo", but you should also be carefull in Rio about where you go or you can become another kind of target. Allways check with the ppl in your hotel where you can and can´t go, and the safe ways to go.

Carnaval is during the summer there, and sure its a crazy celebration, depends on what you´re looking for I suppose.
