"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.

This is the followup on the girl I met last week at the gym, who couldn't remember her extension so she gave me her email.

I sent her the following email today, a week later:

Hey Tracy
You remember me, right? The tall, dark and handsome you met at the gym
last week (you spent 5 minutes trying to pronounce my name)

Would have gotten back to you sooner but I'm taking 19 credits two jobs
plus extracurriculars. I'm ridiculously busy. If you want a date, make
sure to schedule at least 3 working days in advance ;) ha ha)

I'll try to squeeze you in for dinner sometime next week, or we could
go rock climbing, unless you're scared of heights, which would be
disappointing. In the meantime, give me your phone number.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

seems like your overdoing it a bit.

Like your trying to brag that your so busy. It also seems like forced C+ F.

we'll see.

"With every mistake we must surely be learning."
- The Beatles
 

"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.
