"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.

About 3 years ago, I completely botched it with this girl. I acted needy, clingy, gave her gifts, acted indecisive..you name it...it happened. Of course, I'm a lot different now...

I saw her yesterday at a retail store where she worked and she looked absolutely gorgeous. The second I walked in the store, her and her co-workers noticed me immediatley because that's where I met her 3 years ago.

And maybe I'm overanalyzing this but it almost looked as if she did one of those, "let me get close him to see if he notices me" type of thing...but I was in a rush and had to be fitted for a suit by one of the tailors at the store.

I have to pick my suit in a couple of days and of course I'm going to see her again.... How should I go about this one?
 

"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.

Don't act needy, clingy, or give her gifts. Remember, you're better than that now. Just say hi, have some small chat and move on with your day. I'm assuming she still has your number or you have her's, if she wants more she'll call.
