"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.

My personal favorite quote ever is along these lines...

"You are what you do. No what you say you'll do"
-Carl Jung

I find if I pay strict attention to what people actually do (actions over words) I do not have questions about who someone really is. There are some slick liars out there who try to skate the edges of this kind of congruency (words and actions matching)...but they are being deceptive nevertheless. Actions are always where the truth is. Always. And the reverse is true as well. Sometimes what someone does tells you really positive things too...without it being verbalized.
 

"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.
