"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 fell in love with Estee Lauder Intuition For Men a month ago... They keep putting those scented inserts in Men's Health magazines... One whiff and I was hooked. They're also mad cheap on eBay, probably because they're not very popular, I got a 1.7 fl. oz bottle for $17 shipped.

But, my lineup consists of, in the order of preference

Dior Fahrenheit
Estee Lauder Intuition for Men
Victoria Secret Sexy 2 For Him (ex-gf present) - I like it a lot
Tommy Boy

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
