"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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Just wanted to drop in and let you all know that today marks the day that IT starts. IT is going to be the change that takes place within me that will transform a young-unhealthy-poor-neverhadagirlfriend-sitaroundthehouseallday-procrastinating-lazy-boy into a man who gets what he knows is his to take.
I'm not sure how the road will end up being on the way but I know this, I'm gonna bring an extra tank a gas incase the car dies on the way.
That's the right attitude man!The Gamer said:
Let me tell you something.. no one really knows what this windy road of life will bring. But all you gotta know is your destination man.. Aim for it.. and don't let anything sway you.
Nap Hill made a good analogy: If you analyze a navigator's chart in minute detail, you will find that the trip from one point to another is more a collection of zigzag lines than a straight line from the point of departure to the final destination. The captain makes constant course corrections to account for changes caused by external conditions that cause the ship to stray from its course. The only thing that doesn't change during the voyage is the destination.
KNOW WHAT YOU WANT and GO GET IT brother

What do you want to be? Regardless of whether you believe you can achieve it or not - KNOW what you want to be. KNOW what you want to do. Be true to your heart. And then start swimming. Yeah, swim.
They say shoot for the moon, as if it is simply a matter of pulling a trigger then crossing your fingers. No. You swim. Every day. Every hour. Every minute. One day, you'll run out of gas, and even if you're not on the moon by then, you will be among the stars.
But it all starts in your heart. Know yourself. Know yourself.
"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.
