"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.

"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.

Depends on how old you are, where you live, etc.

Generally avoid things that are universally expensive without good payoff like dinner and movies

Go for things that are either cheap (anything free or that only costs a few dollars like a walk in the park, find girls who like to netflix n chill)

Find deals and coupons (groupon could be your friend)

Or things with a good return on investment (things you personally enjoy so you're not wasting money even if you spend a lot, drinks since those get you laid, etc.)

There should be a thorough write-up on this. Lower price dating is an important part of game because we don't try to lead with our wallets.

Go solo. That should save some dough.

I'd go broke, if I dated my plates. I just see them, when I see them.

Work on that day game. Zero $$$ interactions.

i bring this topic often

i usually try to get in their home. suprisingly if you chat long with them they will often let you.


if not, take her for a walk but not a boring one. and dont be unnatractive. escalate if she lets you.

I have a friend who was starting his own business and was short on money for a while.

Interestingly, he said that cheap date ideas were more effective at getting him laid than expensive ones, bc they required more creativity.

One of his go to moves was to buy a bottle of wine and take her to the park.
