"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.

How sick is too sick?

There's a girl I was planning to see today. I still have money from my birthday last week and I thought it'd be fun to see a movie with this chick. She may or may not have a boyfriend, but she's never mentioned him to me. It's also finals week and this is the last free day I have before I take them.

But the last 2 days I've had a bit of a cold. Sniffly, coughing every once in a while, sneezing every once in a while. And I'm just wondering if I'm too sick to hang out with this girl and end up wasting my time and money?

I'd like the last girl I hooked up with this year to NOT be my wh*** of an ex, but I'm not sure if I'd be forcing it today. Lemme know what you guys think.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I think it really comes down to you. If you're too sick in the sense that you feel you cannot have fun and have the potential of ruining the event for both you and her by constant sneezing and etc., then yeah probably reschedule. But otherwise, I say go for it.
