"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.

Well today I decided to go for a walk down the street, and I notice this really hot chick hb9 damn she was so hot. Well I tried to smile at her, so when I did she looked at me and I hurried and looked away. I felt like a big p*ssy. I was embarresed to even look back. When it comes to smiling at the hotties for some reason I get nervous and I cant help it.

I have been having this problem for quite awhile and it just pisses me off really bad.

So I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Anyone got any tips or something?
 

"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.

umm, that's kind of an unusual problem. You can't even smile at a hot girl?

I've heard that you should practice locking eyes with the girls on magazines and stuff when you're standing around the checkout line. Locking eyes with girls is the main thing you need to get the hang of -- not because it magically attracts them to you, but because it makes you feel more dominant.

In fact, lock eyes with guys, too (and unattractive girls). Then nod or smile at them. Don't get in the habit of being afraid to look people in the eye.

A lot of the time, girls won't actually look at you, tho. It's because they're too timid.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
Whatcha scared of? Is she gonna stare into your soul with her piercing gaze? Is her neck gonna extend like Mr. Fantastic and she bites your head off? Is she gonna run off and tell the world that you're a rapist or something because you looked at her?

I just said it in another thread: I don't understand where your fear comes from.
