"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.

I have lots of friends at school and all, and i'm happy with it, but i'm noticing that given a choice, most of my friends would rather hang out with another friend.
Thinking on it, i also noticed that i tend to be the one to go up to my friends or wait for them as opposed to them trying to get my attention.
So, i'm not sure how i ought to change this, any tips?
Like i imagine if i didn't wait for a friend in the hall, i doubt he'd try to catch up to me, or visa versa. For now, at least.

Thanks.
 

"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.

ok so to sum it up you are not the most popular guy around and among friends you are probably the weakest link. What do people do to become popular in high school? do you really need us to explain it to you? do you really wants us to go over the list (playing sports, joining clubs, being talkative in class, acting c&f) etc etc etc??

Nah, its not quite like that.
Its hard to explain. I wouldn't really say that that is a good way of putting it.

this is the best solution..it's not the most popular..but it's the best..
Popularity:pointless. It can only help you get a girl or two..but honestly if they wouldn't go out with you if you weren't popular..fuk them...think of a good reason and i'll tell you why it's not...

but you say it's not really popularity..it's your status among your group of friends...this is a small matter
hunger, war, poverty..
i know those issues probably don't concern you and are not evident in daily life..but it's true..

be satisfied with your life..you don't need to wait for your friends if they don't care as to whether or not you wait..why catch up if they don't wait...be independent..live life..good company comes to those who are uneasy about compliments but happy with criticism...sort of relates...be an alpha...work on your morals...that's all that really matters..
