"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.

I asked her with a text message, so what excuse can I make up? So it won't be so awkward working with her now, I was gonna say that was my little sister texting you last night not me, do you think that would work?
Screw that. She'll know you are lying and it's saying your ego can't handle it. What if she said "yes" to your text message? Would you still say your sister had text messaged her and it was a mistake?

You have to give us more specifics. What time and day did you message her? What did it say? Did it say "I love you, please go out with me?" Or did it say "I know a cool club where we can dance the night away, pick you up at 7."

I'm guessing it was more of the former.
 

"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.

Best advice is indeed to act like nothing happened. Don't make a drama of it. But i understand that this is difficult in the beginning. Ignore her a littlebit, stay friendly to her and don't start talking about what happened. And no, tell no lies to her.
Asking out a co worker is ok to me. But did you do it out of the blue? Make some connection first.

It'll be awkward whether you make an excuse or not. I have a better idea! Friend zone her!!!
