"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.

Do you bother with girls who live too far away?

I mean if you meet a girl and she lives far away like more than an hour, do you bother with her? Going on dates just to meet up would suck. Right?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

If she's fun and the outings are a decent length, then sure.

Anything over like, an hour and a half, though, and that's really pushing it.. but up to about then, with some fuzzy room either way, as long as she's fun and you aren't meeting for just coffee, is totally worth it.

I drive half hour to 45min lengths all the time, so jumping up a bit isn't all that big a deal if I'm going to be spending 6+ hours with someone. However, don't do it because you're attached to the one girl.. common fallacy is to jump for the girl that's a ways away. It's a buffer. Do away with the buffer and meet new people. And I'm presuming you met the girl in person.

A long long time ago, I drove 300 miles a few times with a buddy.

We both had girlfriends at a college far away.

It was fun at the time, but I wouldn't do that again.

If they don't live within 30 minutes I'm not interested.
