"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.

It's been happening, I thought it was just the internet, or just heavy traffic, but it happens during slow periods, and on different internet connections and systems...

WHy are there 80+ items remaining to load for like 3 minutes at a time?

I don't know how long it takes for a cookie or whatever to time out, but after 3 minutes of nothing happening the page just stops loading.

When I post with quick reply, half the time it doesn't want to finish posting, the page loads forever, than quits half way through.

Waiting for a single page to open takes AGES, I open five pages and I have enough time to write an email to a friend, play two games of solitaire, freecell, do like 10 searches on the web, and it's STILL loading!!!

What the hell is happening?
 

"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.

yes it sucks. The gay color scheme sucks to. The advice on the front page sucks too.

Guys the color is easy to change.

First log-in (so your preferences get saved), then scroll down to the bottom of the page. On the bottom left there's a pull down menu, pick what you want. The blue look is "Default". There's others too.

I changed the colour the day the forums were back up...

The load times are btter now, but sometimes....
 

"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.
