"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.

Roober, by the law of probability she will probably flake.

If you are still at a stage of posting individual chats on this thread then you are not messaging or interacting with enough women online. Maintain your standards but spread your net wide.
Well, fortunately, she didn't flake...

She texted around 1pm to confirm and I replied. She texted again when she got there, I got there shortly thereafter. Weirdest OLD encounter because we literally exchanged like 5 texts before we met up. Seems like a good girl, definitely has plate potential. We had a great time, and made out in the end for about 20 minutes in the parking lot with a "so this was a good date right?" Is this kind of question a good sign?

She invited me to do something Saturday, but I really don't want to drive to Sacramento...

I am thinking I will offer to cook dinner for her on Sunday night, although not sure how the kid thing will go over. Almost thinking waiting till date 3 to break that can open. Neither of us asked about kids...
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

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.
