"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 just came back from dinner. I saw four 7-8/10 women (based on looks) in the cafe I was going to order dinner from. As the guy behind the counter asked me a question, one of them translated for me, and so I managed to get into their conversation somehow.

But somehow, it seemed like I left my balls at home. I couldn't think of anything. I was just dumbstruck. I couldn't think of anything except for normal questions (name, where they came from - oh yes, the two hottest were Russians). After obtaining this info, I extracted myself from their conversation/company, and ate my dinner feeling very chumpish all the while.

When I left, I put on some Megadeth on my headphones. And no matter how loud I cranked up Five Magics, I still felt incredibly chumpish.

This was my first missed opportunity of the year. Hopefully, as Dave sings, it will be my last mistake.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

It's okay man. Sometimes it happens...were you thinking hard about saying the "right" thing and it held you back? Sometimes that happens.

I'm sure the next time around you will give a better effort given what happened. Don't worry about saying the wrong thing, just go with the flow and "Take no Prisoners" heheh

Just remember that feeling of how sh!tty it is to blow a good opportunity because of wimpiness and the next time you feel like you're going to wuss out...fight that feeling at all costs and man up. Just shrug this one off and ACT next time. That was my New Years resolution...forget all this fear BS and just go for what I want. I've been rejected a few times already but I don't feel bad about it because there's no regret, I ACTED. Now may your past rust in peace...:p
