"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'm branching this off my other thread about getting her to say she likes spending time with you in silence...

The other side of the coin is how on the phone they "commandeer" the conversation with a long, drawn-out story complete with every tiniest detail.

"Well, Atom Smasher, I had to pick her up at 1:30 - No wait, it was 1:15 because I also went to the dry cleaners. No wait, it had to be 1:30 because I didn't get out of the salon until a quarter to one. No, wait a minute, first I went to the grocery store, and that brings us to about 12:30......." And on and on it goes. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I roll with it for a while until I'm absolutely ready to explode because at a certain point I start feeling like I'm being "used" by her as a verbal dumping ground.

So, men, tell me what if any techniques do you use to mitigate the noise?

You my friend, obviously have a great sense of humor! :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.

That was probably the only funny part of "Master of Disguise".

But if she talks too much, feed her some sausage. Nothing says STFU like some veiny kielbasa poking the inside of her cheeks.
