"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 there's a big dinner party tommorow night, there's this girl that I'm kind of hollaring at and she said she couldn't make it, although she was never going as my date to begin with, she'd be comming with her friends if she did come - cool, so I ask girl 2 who I've been dating on and off to go with me, girl 2 accepts. Turns out the first girl is comming now..

what to do?
 

"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.

well, girl 1 never rejected my offer - I just heard through the grapevine that she wasn't going to make it. However, after hearing that I was going - she gamed up and decided to come. I just don't see this ending well.
