"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.

I dont know why but I'm just an early bird and it's not just that I feel tired the next day, it affects me really bad.
For example these past few days I've been staying up with this girl I met, not even that late just staying up till about 1 A.M. or so, not getting drunk or anything. I wake up at around 7 or 8 so I'm getting about 6-7 hours.... the next day I always wake up crazy nauseas and I basically can't eat the entire day, my stomach keeps cramping up and I wanna puke.... I'm a mess

Is anyone else like this? It really sucks b/c I basically have to make sure I'm in bed pretty early all the time even on weekends otherwise I suffer like you would not believe the next day
 

"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.

That sounds weird. I can cope with any amount of sleep, although the less I have means I tire quicker the next day.

I used to go on the net (if I wasn't working the next day) until any time between 2am and 5am, then I would get up around 7am the next day. Now I'm in bed by 12am.

My only problem is if I sleep longer than about 8 hours - if I sleep in till around 10am then I'm extremely lethargic for most of the day.

Try some of these brainwave music files. There's a few out there for 'deep sleeping'.

Cheers

Do those things actually work?

Tonight I'm finally going to try the white noise from my radio, hope it helps me out.

I'm no expert, so I can't say either way. I've had some 'weird' experiences occasionally. But it has been proven by science that the brain operates on these brainwaves.

Give it a go, see what happens.

I tried that.

And every few hours, there was this loud, mysterious BEEEEEEEP!

I think it was an airplane's navigational beacon, or something.

A fan is much better. I don't care if it's winter.

you should start telling this chick goodnite about a half an hour before you actually expect her to get off the phone or whatever because you know how long it takes a chick to get off the phone. if you are hanging out in person then just tell her you have to crash to get enough sleep.
 

"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.

Maybe she's boring and her conversation is putting you to sleep.
