"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.

Do you guys think this is a good or a bad thing?

There's a girl I've known for a few weeks, and I've been planning to put a move on her tomorrow when I see her in a conference...

The only thing is... I just realized that she's my best friend's sister. She doesn't know that I know her brother and her brother doesn't know that I know her.

I was wondering what you guys thought about this... do you think that it's a good thing that I know her brother or what? This makes me feel a bit awkward...
 

"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 think you should just ignore it and act like you have no clue that she's his sister..

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
try tellin your bud, and see if he's kool with it. as long as you're a good guy, it should be ok, unless he's really protective. it really just depends on him.

if its good to go, then tell her next.

you- hey, do u know so and so?
her- yea, he's my bro, why?
you- wow, thats crazy, cuz he's like my best bud! i was tellin him about u the other day and he was like whoa, thats my sister!
her- really? what did he say?
you- aww, no worries. he's kool with it.
her- okay great!

hope it works out for ya. but wouldnt it be totally weird if u went on a double date with her, and it was your bud with u guys? hahaha, look over and see u makin out with his sis.... crazy...
