"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.

Jeez, this is discrimination... Look, I hate those earbuds that go all the way into your ear, like these: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-ex...lack/4783004.p?id=1219105374549&skuId=4783004

I just want CLASSIC earbuds, which go into your earshell but not all the way into your earhole, like these: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/jvc-gum...hite/1883139.p?id=1219066385025&skuId=1883139

Now, I just have one other wish, they should have a remote control so I can skip songs, fast forward, volume control etc. I want to use them on my ipod mini, that's why. But hey, somehow these things are really hard to find...

There are lots of those earbuds that go all the way into your earhole, which have remote control. But none of the CLASSIC earbuds have remote control! I bought some a few years ago from Sony but they seem unavailable nowadays... Do you guys know of any available???
 

"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.

I like the ones that came with my iPhone. Smooth, without irritating rubber and they stay in-place pretty well.

Yeah, I might try and see if I can buy those separately. But I'd rather get some from another brand coz all the standard Apple earbuds I've had, didn't last long. Plus their sound quality isn't that great.

I just think it's ridiculous how, in the last decade or so, the market has become so focused on those ear buds that go all the way into your earhole. I hate that feeling, like your ears pop when you take off in an airplane? Fvck those things, I want the classic earbuds...WITH remote!

I personally enjoy Skull Candie's, not those rip off kinds, because of the high sound quality, outside noise reduction, and bass. It only has a mic and pause/play button but if you jailbreak/root your phone you can install a kit that allows you to long hold the volume up/down key to skip songs- very useful in my opinion.
 

"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.
