"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've noticed that I look much better in single or simple dual-colored shirts but somehow look much worse in shirts with "busy" prints on them. The "busy" shirt seem to take over and I disappear in them. I also don't have a healthy look in them. This has always been the case even as a teenager.

Anyone know why this is? It's ok if the answer is not that flattering. I want the truth.
 

"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 darker your skin the more patterns become a viable option...even french blue dress shirts on very pale people look off. If you are white typically irish, english, nordic ancestry stick to solids mainly...patterns are good for italians, greek, spanish, african, indian etc

think of the beach...tommy bahama busy shirts only look good when you have a tan underlying it.

If you are very white avoid the bright colors yellows, and greens vivid solid polos will make you look like a last minute usher in a golf tournament.
