"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 an update to "she brought her sister along"

I just came back from her place. it was no big deal. The good news is, for starters, the address she gave me was correct. I thought for sure I was gonna end up on a wild goose chase down in gangsta-land. so far so good. whoo-hoo! And she was home! imagine that! whoo-hoo!

Yes it's nice to be treated with dignity and respect. (for a change)

anyway we just hung out in the kitchen for about an hour. No singing. after some brief polite introductions, Mom, sis and bro left is alone. Basically I have the family's approval.

I've been reading up on "fast seduction 101" made some attempts to shift convo into seduction talk, mirroring, kino, etc. I got a little wussy in the end but I did it in a joking way. See, my birthday is coming up (I told her I'm going to be 88) She was sweet and polite, but bottom line is thanks but no thanks.

Face it. who am I kidding? I'm old, she's young. Not gawnna happen. but it was all good practice, and a lot easier and more pleasant than I expected.

"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.
