"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.

Dating my older boss

Looking for a bit of advice here, just any advice in general really...

This is a new experience for me. I've dated plenty of women close to my age, and younger, one older I think... at 24. However this Friday I have set up a date with my boss at work.. who's 28. (I'm 21)

We get along fine. Very playful and joking... the sexual tension was strong for a while before we kind of blundered into agreeing into a date. With the whole co-worker thing the situation was very.. light footed for a while.

Anyways, now it's going down and I'm not sure what to expect... In my experience women stay the same from 18-30+, except they want more out of you. That's kind of something affecting my confidence, since I feel a woman in the 28 y/o range would be looking for a man with a adult-type job and not a college student with a **** job. But I feel that's all a mental block/insecurity of mine because... she agreed and wanted to go out after all.

Anyways, anyone have experience with such a situation? I could care less if it's bad for my job security. Not a concern...

More looking for people with experience/tips with dating a slightly older woman. Thanks
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

You're a college student and she's an older boss who prolly knows what she wants. If she's into you then she's NOT looking for an "adult-type" man, but for a college student.
Trust your gut, if you feel the attraction then keep doing what you do.

Not going to comment on dating your boss though, I'm sure the other posters will.

Well you said you couldn't care less about what it does for your job security, so there's your answer right there. If it's "just a job" as opposed to an adult-type job after college then I say definitely go for it, especially if she's really attractive.
 

"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.

General game applies. Try a bit more amused mastery than usual. I don't think dating them is much different. They tend to be better conversationalists. Just be confident and have fun. If there's already chemistry then you're doing something right.
