"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.

you all know how it is in high school. ppl chat on campas in circles. i find that i have a hard time breaking into them, even tho several pppl in them are my friends. i just feel awkard doing it. any tips?

also, how do you break into a circle when you only know one person but want to get to know ppl in the circle. for example in the popular circle, you know one person but want to get to know the rest.
 

"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.

You just gotta be an outgoing character.

Greet your friend, but make sure the whole group notices you. Something like "Yoo buddy, whats up? We still going out later?", something like that.

Then look to the person closest to you and say "I don't believe we've met"
Give out your hand, introduce yourself, they will do the same. Do this to the rest of the group as well.

Then just start up a conversation like TV Shows, or last night's game against the other school or w/e.
Make sure you leave a good image of yourself tho, (energetic, outgoing etc.) and the group will like you.


Then there you go...say hi to your new found friends in the halls as well.
