"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.

So, I was chatting with a female friend of mine tonight and basically we started talking about relationships.

She said the most interesting thing ever. Here is our convo paraphrased:

Me: blah blah **something about a girlfriend** blah blah
Her: hmm, I wonder why you'd need a girlfriend
Me: what? why
Her: because you've never really mentioned it.
Me: hmm...yea I don't really broadcast it. So because I haven't said anything I don't need a gf?
Her: well...it's just that it never seemed liek you needed one. You have a lot going on in your life.
Me: hmm...

Yea so this got me thinking. True I am a busy person, but has this hurt my chances? Because I have a life? Let me hear your thoughts on this.
 

"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.

basically your friend was just saying you never mentioned it before , you usually seem busy and like you dont care if you have one or not, you werent hunting for one.

Ya, she's right, you DON'T need a girl friend. And don't act llike it. It's a good thing. She didn't say you COULDN't get one, she said you don't NEED one. She just recognizes you got other **** going on, which is a good thing.

I think it's just an honest conversation.

You don't need a girlfriend and that is what she is saying. Why query this?

who cares
its her opinion. who knows if you need a gf or not. if you need a gf youre going to go find one regardless of what she says if you dont, then stay single. i wouldnt worry that much about what girls say.

You got a life? Please help me out with that one. What are your hobbies other than playing with the one-eyed snake? :p
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
