"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.

My prom is coming up in alittle under a month. I was thinking about asking my friend but just as friends. I want my prom night to be causal. She goes to a different school and I only see her at church or the weekends. I wanted to ask her ASAP so it will give us both time to get outdfits, arrangments etc. But I wanted to ask her face to face but I would have to wait until the end of the week. If I had to do it ASAP that will mean I'll have to ask her over the phone or through a text messeage (I only see her on the weekends). Is it bad to ask a friend to prom through the phone/text? Or should I just wait do it face to face?
 

"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.

If she's just a friend, it doesn't matter. She doesn't go to your school, so it's not like it's a big deal. You need a date, and you'd like her to come with you. So call her up to talk, and when you get the chance, say "hey, you know my prom is coming up and I still don't have a date, would you like to come?", considering your just friends, don't worry so much about how you ask her, she'll prob go with you.
