"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.

Iv hit a slump this week, i need to get back into acting and thinking like a man.

Might be the stress of exams recently and a strange misshap with the gf in bed. I finished way too early, which hasnt happened for ages but now my manly swagger has badly diminished.

What do you guys do to lose the depressive mood and get confidence back?

Been doing some running which has been good. Other ideas bros.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

All I can say is that this is not the end of the world, so don't act like it is

confidence comes from not only believing in yourself, but being willing to get RIGHT back up when you fall down

It's easy to be confident and upbeat when everything's goin your way

The real challenge, the true confidence....believing in yourself even when bad things happen

Start thinking ahead, not behind.

Chin up.
No literally.

Chin up

Whenever I lose my confidence, all I have to do is assume a manly posture (Straight back, chest out, chin up, laid back, confident smile) and my confidence returns instantly.

nothing builds self confidence like accomplishment.

set some goals and accomplish them.
 

"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.
