"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 now this is my first year being 18. I don't feel drastically different at all but my attitude has changed a bit. This year, I had no Christmas spirit. I didn't even ask for anything other than a fitbit and a food scale. I haven't opened up presents yet but I'm sure my mom got me more things. Last year was really cool because I got a PS4 and some games to go with it, clothes, other things I can't remember.

This year, I had no christmas spirit. The buildup was virtually nonexistent. I don't get excited about many things anymore. I am sort of cynical.

Only cool thing about being 18 is I can vote.

How do you guys feel? How does the idea of Christmas change as you age? I'm beginning to witness firsthand.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Christmas is my favorite holiday. With that being said, I feel the same way about it now that I did as a kid.

Personally, I believe that Christmas is a pagan holiday and that it has only one purpose; however, I am a huge advocate of every single one of the average Christmas beliefs.


Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!

Well...yes and no. The Pagan Holiday was called the Festival of Saturnalia which was held 12/17-12/25. However, the early Christians wouldn't stop celebrating the Festival of Saturnalia so they decided to move it to coincide with it.

It actually was the ultimate if you can't beat them, join them at the time.

"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.
