"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.

Don't think about it, just DO IT

I have been mindfvcking myself lately by over thinking things. Thankfully the guys on here have caught me and I have had the opportunity to reevaluate how I'm going about my endeavors.

I would say that when you're approaching, do not think about it at all. The more you think about it, the less likely you are going to do it and that is the worst thing that can happen to you. I would even argue that not approaching her is worse than getting rejected. My friend tells me, that the feeling of regret is worse than rejection, and I agree with him.

I have been working a ton lately (60+ hours a week) and not really been working out at all. I've been tired when I get home, and it's basically effing up my body. I feel like I need to stop thinking "man I'm so tired" and just go to the gym even if it's at 10 pm and I've worked the whole day.
 

"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.

Don't be too hard on yourself in terms of the working out part. I work similar hours as you and it really is draining on your body. I mean, your body needs time to recuperate from all the stress, too.

You have my respect on working 60+. I would not recommend working out on top of that though. You can't work any less bro ?

I'm trying to cut my hours starting in March. I have a full time job and a few part time gigs. I might drop the part time all together
 

"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.

Alot of people get so caught up with work they forget about everything else. If I were you I'd cut the part time as well, but then again I don't make as much money as you and don't know the experience. I was always say, sure money is great, but what good is it if you can never enjoy it.

I read an article that had a survey of elders and asked them this question: If you could relive your life what would you go back and change ?

Majority of the elderly simply answered : I wish I worked less and enjoyed life more.

Don't forget to have some fun man, Life's short.
