"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.

Long story short, I started dating/seeing this girl. I don't know how, but I think maybe he was picking up some stuff from her place and somehow got my cell phone number. He is now texting and trying to call me, and annoying the fvck out of me. I called my cell phone provider, and the geniouses that they are, you cannot block another cell phone from trying to call/text you. Fvcking Brilliant!

What should I do?

Also, he isn't threatening me, but is getting close to it, and I can't complain to the police unless I have a concrete threat.

He is harrassing you. Send him a text message telling him that "Please stop harrassing me. You have sent me ____ (write number) texts and called me ____ times. I am starting to get concerned. If you don't stop, I will be forced to put a legal complaint."

Do not delete this message. Make sure he gets it. If he continues...then call the police and put a complain.
 

"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.

The problem is that if I call the police, I need to have a concrete threat, otherwise they won't take me seriously. I think there's also something with annoying calls...If calls are neverending then I can possibly put a complaint - Not exactly sure about texts.

Does not matter. He is harrassing you. He is disturbing your peace by constantly calling you and texting you.

And by you sending THAT Text....(which I'm sure will have a "date" and "time")...that is serving as your evidence. If he continues to contact you several times...that's your evidence that he continued to harrass you...even AFTER you asked him to stop.

Call the police. If he is actually talking about harming you, that offense is called threatening acts of violence and you can get him put in jail. I would advise you and your GF to get a VPO against him. Ditch the alpha male stuff this one time and use the law.

I would not call the police without first warning him.

The "alpha male" crap can get you in trouble with the law. And should only be reserved when you are protecting your life or the life of those near you. Other than that...it is better to avoid crap.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
