"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.

Anyway it's been exactly a week since date 1, and she suggested we get together again saturday. so anyway she's in my class and im planning on taking her ice skating after class, if she asks where we're going ill tell her it's a surprise.

Anyway i got skates and a lock at home. I want to bring it to be prepared, and to save money.

But a problem i do see if i bring it is that she'll start to think that i know she's easy (that i knew she'd come ice-skating w/me regardless) and perhaps that im bragging if i bring it. And perhaps predictable on my part (having it planned out), instead of going along with it as it comes up (renting the skates). But anyway im a mediocre skater.

Bring it or no?
 

"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.
