"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.

Great line from Good Looking Loser that's better than the standard "come over to my place for a drink."

He tells chicks instead: "I'm a bartender. Come over to my place and let me fix you a drink."

Or you could tell chicks if you think they're going to ask: "Where are you a bartender?"

"I'm taking an online course for bartending. Come up to my place and let me fix you a drink."

It sounds like a better/ different twist enticing line as it gives the chick an excuse/ puts them at ease that "you're a bartender and that's why it's ok to come over to your place to fix her a drink" rather than just telling them to come over for a drink.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Some dudes may get tired or don't feel comfortable with the standard line and it does put a twist on it as the chick may just be more apt to say yes as "you're a bartender".

After all. You could be a bartender. In your apartment..

Relax. It's just a different twist to telling a chick to come over for drinks. Some dudes may prefer it. Some may not. No need to get all worked up about it.
 

"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.
