"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.

Never been on a date.
Never kissed.
Too shy to approach girls.

Saw this site...and tonight I tried some of the tips.

I was at the mall and I saw a girl eating by herself...so I bought some food and I actually went up to her and started to talk to her. (Success)

But I didn't get her number....(failure)

So I read on the site where it said to have the girl talk a lot and build off of what she talks about....I tried to do that but she was asking ME all sorts of questions at the beginning...so I felt like I was talking way too much...I tried to balance the conversation by asking her q's ... at the end she had to get back to work cause her break was over...

what to do....
 

"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.

What are you talking about man... that was all a success.

Sure... you didnt get her #. Thats not what its about at the begining man.

Your learning, hell we all are, and from what i understand you just took a huge step man. You grabbed your balls and you went up to her.

You got rejected, but its never a failure if you learn from it.

Keep up the good work, bro.

I wouldn't even call it a rejection. Way to go and keep it up.

"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.

she just had to go back to work.

Are you asking how to go back and continue talking to her? That would be kind of hard, you don't even know when she will be working, let alone on break. And if she is working, she can't sit there and talk to you.
