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.

naw, depression isn't a prob for me.hithard said:Hey joker, your not hitting early signs of depression or anything?
good thing what you think doesn't mean anything to meiqqi said:I've said before that I think Joekerr suffers from depression maybe even manic depression. His threads go from one end of the spectrum (hopeful and confident with the world around him), to the other (dismal and insecure about his prospects for happiness).
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
It is important to use I statements when speaking to a sensitive audience.joekerr31 said:good thing what you think doesn't mean anything to me![]()
and if possible could you do me a favor and not use oxymorons like phrases 'I think' in your posts.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Yeah just checking lol, take up a risky part time job.Bouncer in a hard part of town, porn star,strip club owner, Crime syndicate kingpin, or even dictator to a third world country.Wait did I get a bit extreme there?? anyway maybe live life in the fast lane for a few hours a week.Half the fun is usually getting there.Of course more times then not it all ends up in tears.joekerr31 said:naw, depression isn't a prob for me.
i was just saying that as you get older life gets more boring. i mean, you've seen presidents come and go, wars, etc. - the novelty of things wears off.
hahaha. yes, this is what im talking about.ElChoclo said:This is the reason why people enjoy disaster movies and join religious cults which predict the end of the world. If you have ever watched a documentary about people who investigate alien visitations you find that they just take down the details in a very matter of fact way without any surprise. Why wouldn't they, since they claim to have heard the story many times before with similar details.
Joekerr is just like Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black 2.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
