"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.

Daytime date?

So I met this girl on a cold approach. Called her and got talking. She said, "I'm pretty much free all week," without me asking her. Basically giving me a hint that she wanted to go out.

But anyways, she said she couldn't go out after 5 on Thursday. So I said, "Alright then, 2." She agreed right away. I'm not worried about her interest level, but now I'm thinking that I just should have chose another night for the date. Most people say that night time is best for a date, but I'm going to make the best of this situation.

My cousin (who is a natural) said I'm overthinking it and that if a girl likes you then she likes you. The time doesn't matter.

Thoughts? Tips? Anything would be appreciated. The last time I went on a date during the daytime I was 17.
 

"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.
