"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.

Me: Hey Sara, I noticed you were watching me skateboarding a couple of weeks ago (we only see each other once a week). I have a question
Her what
Me: Well do know how I was doing on my ollie? Was I getting into air? (blah blah blah)
Her: She answers my questions
Me: Ok thanks. Would you like to learn how to skateboard? (OK she is fairly interested in me already and Im making my move now. She likes Ryan Sheckler, but if shes intersted would she accept?)
Her: (Yes or no)
Me: Ok let me call you sometime.

Would ths work in a group and when she's alone?
 

"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.

You think too much and are over analyzing the situation. Make small talk with her about skateboarding if that is your thing, but don't have a script all planned out.

from my short time on this earth ive learned that nothing ever goes to plan , no matter how simple it is so u just gotta learn to adapt to things on the go. Start off with skateboard talk, and then let the conversation go into w.e

I personally try to avoid canned lines, especially when they are scripts. I just use those to explain to people how the conversation should go, as an example. They hardly ever go to plan, and if they do and you end up memorizing these long scripts, they tend not to look natural and look rehearsed.
After reading a couple of canned lines, you tend to develop your own. Just approach her with that first line (Hey, noticed you saw me skateboarding a couple of weeks ago!), and see how it goes from there.

I personally would try this type of conversation when she is alone, I find it to be much easier especially because she won't be shy/embarrassed to say yes to you if there is nobody else around. Just relax, have some confidence and you are in! Way too many guys are posting threads in regards to approaches, relax about it and I'm sure you'll do fine! I actually just posted in a thread in regards of how to make conversation. Despite the fact that my reply was directed to him, I feel there is quite of bit of information you can learn from it as well.

Zack, if you know how to talk to people, why do you need a memorized opener?
What if she breaks your script and says something unrelated to what you expect?

You can talk. Practice. Here's your new opener:

"Hey." (with a smile)

Work with that. Test yourself and see what you can turn a simple hello into.
