"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.

As far as I understand you listen and sympathise.

What MUSN'T you do?

Like you don't go compliment a girl, buy her things, kiss her ass to get her attracted and all the rest, what musn't you do when listening to her tell you about what her friend did with this friend to that friend.

good replies only please.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

what you shouldn't do: tell her what to do

what you should do: listen to her drama

but, don't let her go into the drama too much. You have to "lead" her out of the drama (not by proposing solutions to her problems).

Don't take her seriously anyway, her drama is content-free.

Egoist, silly thing to say.

newbie81, thanks, helpful reply. Be supportive, relaxed, positive about it, but dont think of solutions, and lead her out of it onto more positive things.
Got it :)

You can't very well seem like you don't care, that would just make you look cold and uncaring.
you can't tell them to **** off.

You so can tell them to fvck off, it's what keeps so many relationships going these days.

Be supportive, never offer solutions... if the conversation has no grounds except to simply be "for your information" then you can say "fvck off, I don't want to hear it"

Why SHOULD you care? Would you care if this was any of your guy friends? Women are not made from porcelaine, they're actually a lot tougher than us on emotional issues. It took me long to learn this, but now I know this is the case.

Once u give her solutions, you become just a friend. No longer a potential lover. If she keeps nagging u abt what she should do, reply: "If i tell you, it's gonna cost you. Baby, this type of info ain't free" or some C+F response...
 

"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.
