"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.

Bloody right, it's mean to be asking someone to drop what they're doing to go be your personal chauffeur. The nerve of some people ... :rolleyes:

I mean, it's one thing if they have a flat tire, or something (i.e., an emergency), but just asking you unexpectedly out of the blue to take them to the mall, or something ... :rolleyes:
 

"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.

Hahaha, but you'd do it if you REALLY liked them. See. That is the key difference. ;) :D

Jump start their car or help them in an emergency, hell yes. Interrupt what I'm doing to drive them to the mall, no... no matter how much I really, really liked them.

I mean, would I ask such a thing of them? NFW.

It's very simple: if I feel like I'm being "jerked around," it's a no-go, and my interest level in the woman drops. She's failing my test. It is a 2-way street, you know. :D
