"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 would you respond in this situation?

Let's say you are after a particular HB 8. Her friend (whom you are also friends with) suspects you like HB 8, and asks you if you like HB 8.

I am wondering how the top DJ's would respond to this.

The reason I ask is because I would shoot back with something like "No, but she loves me." Problem - the friend would probably laugh but then insist on a serious answer.

Just a scenario I came up with that started to boggle me as I thought more and more into it. A serious "no" may be reported back to HB 8 and may cause a resulting loss of interest (or not necessarily interest, but interest in pursuit for her).

Roll in with the thoughts.
 

"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.

Sounds like a good response to me, but I would think that it would lean towards admittance, no?

I would be very careful in this scenario. You don't want to get caught up in a situation where HBother plays matchmaker. If she does, you come across as very weak, like your not man enough to approach her. If this happened to me, I would tell HBother yes I do like her, then I would proceed to call HB8 before HBother calls to tell her. If you don't have her number, then use the opportunity to get the # from HBother.
 

"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.

you put your hands up in the air smile and you say, "well... what can I say :) "

After all this is the kind of thing tht happens to you all the time.

Then you hit that girl up sometime. After that you hit her friend up.

Heh, I'm in this spot too. I come in occasionally to this resturant, and there's Heather, the cashier, and her friend in the back (don't know the name). Anyways, I've dodged answering that question with "maybe a little", and apperently the whole place has been talking in secert about me, which gives me points.

What I'm going to do is suck in both two girls at one. The next time I walk in and I have both girls working..I'm going to get them to admit indirectly that they do like me, and then I'm turning it around into "Well, what we could do, is I'll take Heather on a date one night, and you right after (*key* because if I kiss one, that cancels the other out when they talk if there was different days), and then you two can fight over each other for me."

So, in essense, if I kissed both of them and they both really want me, it should get interesting. Heh..

She shouldn't be asking you that question, either tell her that or ask her in what way and go in to extreme graphic detail about whether she means just for sex, blow jobs etc.

Just embaress her and make her feel stupid for asking such a question in the first place - it's none of her damn business.
