"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.

So I have the pleasure of working at a restaurant, I am a bartender at the restaurant and so I immiediatly have social proof amongst everyone working there. It is truly amazing. Anyways, I am 18, and most of the other tenders and servers are mid 20's, so I make a habit of getting to know the hostess's really well.

Last night there was a hostess working, lets call her HBcurly. She is probably around an 8 -> 8.5 for those of you who use such a scale. Anyways I always give the hostess's a hard time for taking the wine taster glasses from the bar (which they use to give to people waiting for tables). So when she came in I started busting on her, I had already met her once before so it was just continuing the flirty behavior from last time. Carrying on, when I finally got cut, I went to chat with her.

Mission: hey hows things out here?
Hbcurly: good, i want to get out of here so bad!
Mission: this probably isn't the best time to tell you I am cut then...
Hbcurly: You bastard! *hits my arm
Mission: sorry babe, what are you doing tomorow night?
Hbcurly: not a damn clue, how bout you?
Mission: friends having a party, you should come.
Hbcurly: yeah! you have your phone on you?
Mission: yeah, whats your number?
Hbcurly: xxx-xxxx
Mission: and your last name?
Hbcurly: ____
Mission: ok i will give you a shout tomorow then. bye!

This morning I texted her. "hey its Mission. I am bored and hungry, wanna come get some grub with me"

Sure enough she texts me back saying yes.

It is as easy as that guys. Hope this helps some of you.

"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.
