"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.

The girl ended up talking to a good friend of mine.
My friend told me that she said "it was fun. he's a cool kid. He's a good friend"

I'm not going to ask this particular girl on another date.


At least I learned some interesting things from it, such as being more bold. I also learned the importance of kino, and how fast a person's opinion can change of you.

Who knows, maybe I was WAY off thinking she was into me, but she pretty much spelled it out for me. Really flirty, she asked ME to hang out, etc. So I think she geniunely was into me at one point. Weird how fast girls can get bored. Next time I'll be more aggressive.

She may also be an AW. She claims to have a lot of male friends, which is a very bad sign of that kinda thing.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.
