"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 drink a ton. I still work the night life scene so sometimes I drink to excess with my clients. I have a few limo drivers on speed dial so I don't have to worry about drunk driving and I've been drinking long enough where I know what and how to drink to avoid getting a hang over. On the social level I drink A LOT.

On the private side though, back at mi casa and what not, I may have a single ****tail or beer at home to wind down the day with dinner and usually that's it. No matter how long you've been drinking, it's never a good idea to drink excessively for prolonged periods of times. I've seen what alcohol dependancy will do to you an it's not pretty. One of my long time promoters was drinking at least a 750ml bottle of something every damned day since he was 20. He died of liver failure at 30 and it was a gruesome death. Everything just kinda shut down progressively. If you drink too much you won't be able to enjoy that which makes alcohol pleasurable. It relaxes you and makes for great conversation. When you over do it, things start going wrong in one way or another almost one hundred precent of the time.

I really enjoy the taste of liquor. I'll cook jim beam into some ribs up something fierce! I like the even flavor of alcohol and how it literally takes your breath away, but like most things this is something I acquired over time. Most people I know will never make it there. Chasers for shots, drinking for confidence and just to be wasted, all of these are not good reasons to drink. Drink responsibly, with intelligence, and with confidence.
 

"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.

I don't really enjoy the taste of liquor, but liek rollo said, when I drink, it's becuase I want the effect that it's goin to bring at that particular time. I don't like being a drunk bar hopper, but I like to have a couple of drinks in me at a good football game. makes it good n fun.

I live in a house full of drinks (my GF has a watermelon smirnoff fetish) and I will bypass it and drink grape juice. I love grape juice.

. For me, it's a way to escape reality and enjoy myself more than I would otherwise.
that's not the way someone who only has 2 drinks a year talks. I'm a recovering addict myself, i"m not calling you out but I don't want anyone to go though the crap I had to go though, if I have to ruffle your feathers, i'd rather be wrong about you and say something than be right and say nothing.
