"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.

Basically we made plans on meeting up when we're both back in town a couple weeks. Text conversation basically ended once we figured out where we were going to meet.

Two days later she continues the conversation, asking where I would be coming from, etc.

And then THREE days after that she replies "oh cool. Did you grow up there?"

I thought we were done talking both times until we met up. And yet she insists on carrying on the SAME conversation. What do I do? Just ignore it until we meet up? Tell her that I don't like texting all that much and wait till we're in person?
 

"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.

Dont tell her shat. No need to explain yourself. Be busy, reapond sparingly until you meet. Once you meet and she keeps on with the inane boring conversation put your finger on her lips then give her a kiss.

IGNORE HER QUESTIONS.

Just pretend she didn't ask them. Change the subject, answer her questions with a question of your own. You're the man, you guide the conversation. She's asking boring dumb questions because she wants to talk to you, but doesn't know what else to say.
