"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.

If people want to get rid of the Electoral College, a compromise should be made where Voter ID requirements are created and enforced in every state and territory of the US.

Personally, I also think the EC system is outdated, but think that a mixed system that weighs voter distribution in districts and state popular vote winner to allocate electors should be implemented to balance federalism and democracy, similar to Nebraska's and Maine's. The national popular vote would also be weighted in this updated system. Counterbalances to prevent or minimize gerrymandering as much as possible, should be incorporated as well.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
