"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 can't condone what Josh Duggar did.
Seems like you are trying your hardest to make it out to be no big deal.

I think we can all agree to some extent that "playing doctor" and sexual curiousity is natural to some degree. Like so many things, the question is where do you draw the line. Stagger seems to think the line is when you turn 16. Reading this thread, apparently many think it's okay if you're seven. Duggar was 14, and Rex at least was ready to beat him up and hand him over to the government.

I'm just not so sure that at age 14, a kid should be expected to have the wisdom and self control of Solomon. In my mind, a 14 year old is a minor. Again, in Duggar's case, I agree he went too far. But I read one incident was with his sister of 12.
Lame excuses you are making here. You believe that 14 year olds can do whatever they want because you claim they have no self control?

Just hypothetically, would you be willing to disown your son if he was 14 and his sister was 12? What if they both said it was consentual experimenting? Of course the older one would be more responsible, but at 14, wholly responsible?

I'm just curious as to where y'all think the lines should be drawn.

Would you be cool with your oldest son performing sexual acts on your younger daughters for years? It would not bother you what he was doing to hurt them? You would play it off like "eh no big deal"?
 

"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.
