"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.

Joined this site called "Thought Catalog" a few months ago. It definitely skews female and from time to time I go on the comments and start trolling. Usually, though, there's no point. You can learn a lot from just reading some of the tripe posted on there and simply doing the opposite of what's suggested.

Anyway, I actually finally came across a good article about guys who overcompliment and supplicate:

http://thoughtcatalog.com/2013/i-dont-want-to-be-worshiped/

Insecurity is unattractive, we all know this. It makes the person you’re with start to question if they should be with you. But worshipful behavior is equally unattractive, at least in my opinion. When I anger you, I want you to yell. When I begin to push boundaries, test your limits, I expect to know, or at least believe that if I did do these things, you would leave me, knowing that you deserved better. I don’t want to feel like I can walk all over you, because if I think I can, I might.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

The article is very valuable content-wise, especially how she speaks out the truth without any candycoating. Props for posting this.
 

"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.

This is a very common perspective among girls, not just the writer of the article. Or maybe it's just cause I come from an "east coat liberal" background. Seriously, they don't want to be fawned over. They don't want to be told they're perfect.
