"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.

Has anyone ever had to build a network of friends -- like particularly male buddies u can roll with -- from scratch?

I used to have a real good team, then it kinda fell apart, particularly after college. I work in the city and get around a lot, but it seems difficult to actually get together a group from scratch that you can fit well with?

Anyone got some *REAL* experiences to share? Should I just be going it alone for now? I really feel I need some group to hang out with.

Cheers,

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I'm exactly where you are right now. I'm way too different than everyone else to have mindless chatter and say things just to fit in.

Ok so you're saying if somebody moves into a new city with a new job, and has no friends, (or as you like to call them, crew), then they can't start just from scratch?

Ok Atomic Dog Sh*t... Let me break this down for you... you're calling me f*cked up but you have the exact same problem, are you stupid or what? By the way, you're 19 and you're out of college? Do you quit your friends, school and everything else that easy? no wonder you can't get laid you loser
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

The only thing I was putting down was myself... I was criticizing myself for being too different and not saying stupid sh*t to fit in, I'm not against being in a group, I just got pissed off because I admitted some of my faults, and then you go on and diss me for admitting that stuff... so next time you really shouldn't jump to conclusions that quickly
