"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 lived in a new town now for about 2 months. ive quite a bit of friends and have several numbers. My friends and I always have fun in school together and everything is cool except for when it comes to weekends. I always ask my buddies "Hey man what ya doin this weekend, goin to any parties?" and they usually respond with something like "na i gotta get up early " or "Im just gonna go hook up with a chick at the movies". Odd thing is on Monday they come in and say "I was so drunk this weekend, i made with 3 chicks!!" if i ask where they were they wont give me a straight answer. Then during the week they will talk about parties.
keep in mind one of my friends knows just about EVERYONE in the school so there is no way he just goes home and watches tv all night. If i ask them to atleast introduce me to someone who can invite me to a party they say "ok sure ill call" or "ask around". both turn out negativley.
Im not an antisocial guy nor do I have something seriously wrong with my looks so I really do not know what wrong.
How can get invited to places such as parties or just hangin out in someones basement? Suggestions on being social in general?

thanks in advance
 

"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.

Hahaha what the heck is it with people? Actually i can relate to that. Bak where i used to live one of my friends who moved there always used to complain that i didnt invite him to parties or what not. To tell the truth i never really thought of him when i went to things :s
Its gotta be in the genes or something but parties are a ****in eird deal
 

"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.
