"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 actually pretty much live with my mom and brother, since my parents are divorced, but you get the idea. I guess I was kinda spoiled because my last gf had her own place and we could get close and watch movies and do whatever, but I'm realizing now how much I hate living at home. If I had a steady girlfriend, it wouldn't be a big deal to bring her over as everyone would probably already know her, but for dating sometimes I just really want to have some girl come over and chill with me, but I feel uncomfortable if theres people around. To give you guys some backround I'm 22 and am living at home because my college is pretty much 5 min. away and can't afford to move out. Would love some advice if possible, thanks.
 

"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.

it's not that bad... the only thing you can't do is bring her home. there are plenty other things you two can do, other places you can chill at
