"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 was hanging with my friends, and i was getting pushed around by them. I was so left out cause i couldn't say anything funny. I kept trying, and not trying, and it never worked out. Then we saw some HB's that i knew and wanted to hang with me. So i was sitting with them talking, and i ****ed up and said something hella dumb towards the end of the conversation about my best friend.
Me: He respects you, but the reason is disclosed.
HB7: excuse me?
Me: He thinks u have a nice ass
HB7 and HB 7#2 yell at my best friend and we all run like the wind outta there

....... OK I NEED HELP I AM SUCH A ****ING DUMB ASS. Getting pushed around by best friends, and ****ing up around girls. I dont think confidence, and charisma is gonna fix my problem. I need special help.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

It's ok, it' not really your fault. Those girls were just too *****y to see the joke.
 

"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.

well his post is so comical..."I say stupid stuff -- HELP ME." There's not a whole lot you can do with that.

I guess if we're looking for serious advice for the op, I'd say to think a little more before talking. (I actually have this problem myself sometimes.) It usually is better to just listen more than to talk foolishly.

That, and just practice. And watch comedies and stuff to help get funnier.

Telling a girl that she has a nice ass isn't the worst thing you can do. In most cases, it will come off as chumpish, but you have to learn how to interact better mainly through experience. You're only 15, for heaven's sake. I wish I'd known about this site at 15.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

and when you say think a little that never works, because i cant think fast enough, and it would be akward if there was a long pause after they say something
