"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.

This girl I have been talking to for a few weeks now is seeing a movie with another guy. I really don't think he is anything more than a friend, but I am sure he'd like to be. Why else would he take her to a movie. On the other hand, she is definitely a tomboy and doesn't hang with almost any other girls at all, mostly guys. She is a freshman, so most of the guys she hangs out with are my buddys. except for him, lol.

I have met the dude a couple times and he is nice enough. He is definitely timid and submissive around me.

Whenever I see him, I am friendly, but definitely the alpha. I always call him the wrong name, and just generally make him seem beta, but don't come off rude about it.

If she ever brings him up, I just act like he is her gay friend and make jokes along that line.

I think I am fine, but am reallly kinda wondering what approach I should take to busting her balls about it. I don't want to come off jealous or anything like that.

Thoughts?
 

"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.

seems like you are doing good as you are......i'd probably joke "So how was your date with ______?" and maybe she'd be like "it wasnt a date yadda yadda" and disqualify the guy herself

that's what I was thinking, but doesn't that kinda put thoughts of dating him into her head? Or am I just way over thinking it?lol
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
