"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.

Alright I know that you guys have had this problem and if you havent I'm guessing you will at some point. So I've got a few potentials (numbers and what not) and I'm ready to set up for the first date, but im coming up short on ideas. For instance, I know full well that lunch and a walk in the park, or putt putt golf, flying a kite, or even having a picnic are solid ideas. Each has been approved by my female friends and putt putt and walking in a park have been field tested. My problem is, those can get boring and Im looking for somthing more unique and memorable. Any ideas guys?
 

"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.

A walk in the park. Don't just make it a walk in the park. Change it to your personality and lifestyle.

Do you like to show off a bit (blah blah I know showing off is bad... IF it's full blown bragging)? -- bring a frisbee/soccer ball/football/etc.

Do you like to just chill? Bring a blanket and chill with her on a nice comfortable night.

Personaly, I'd do both... since it fits ME.

one of my favorite dates ever was ice skating. It just rocked my world. There's plenty of opportunity for conversation. Room for flirting and kino. plus it's an action sort of date so you're moving around doing stuff. It's just really fun.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Just use the 3 C's: cheap, convienient, and allow for conversation. If it fits those three things then it is a good first date.

Symphony, Ballet, Opera, etc. You should be able to find affordable tickets. I love taking girls to the Opera, then usually to a disco.

Other suggestions...Art Museums/Galleries.
