"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.

Is this normal or abnormal. I came into college with a thick head of black healthy hair.

I'm in my senior year and literally have 10-15 grey hairs in my head. I cut them out so they're not at all noticeable. Could this be due to stress?

I'll admit i've been highly stressed during certain points in college. Right now being one of them in regards to all the homework and studying i have to do this weekend.

It's just that I never thought i was SO stressed that my hair would start turning gray. It's kind of a bummer. Anybody else experiencing this or have experienced this?
 

"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.

I have a ****-ton of gray. Probably to do with stress as I have more then my father in his late 40's.

Doesn't really bother me though, looks kind of nice

Threads like this that makes me glad that my dad is in his mid-fifties and hair is as black as ever.

Just curious, you try plucking the 10-15 grey hairs you have? Is that better than just cutting it?

"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 think stress can help trigger it but it's all in your genetics.

I bet whomever you get your hair from will of went bald / gray around the same time. I get my hair from my dad. He's 50, still not balding and started getting gray hairs at about 48, luckily for me.

yea i tend to agree. my mom is in her mid 50's and if she didn't dye her hair she'd have a full head of white hair. She told me she started graying late 20's early 30's.

It has to be stress. College gets overwhelming sometimes. fvck...

That's no guarantee. My mom and dad had their first grey hairs at 40+ y/o. My mom discovered my first grey hair when I was 17 y/o. I think it's due to my perfectionistic tendencies.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

If you looked at my Dad's hair then at mine you would agree it was true with me at least, lol.
