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.
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.
intelligence is a good thing. being a tool is not. just make sure if you're helping them with something, they're helping you with somethingOriginally posted by six-foot AZN '05
In school I'm one of the more mentally developed kids around and all the girls flock to me for hw help. Somehow everytime it feels like I'm being used like a tool. All the girls I know see me as a walking dictionary. How do I pull myself out of this hole?
Yep. Next time they ask you for something ask something from them as well. Its worked for me. For example ask them to help you with your own things(I mean you do have things to do don’t you?). AND AVOID being to easy to use, once in a while say a No(even if there isn’t any particular reason), that way you come out like a busy person, which you should be anyways. Oh and show your other qualities(that way they see your not just some dictionary, that your more than that), intelligence is a bonus but not the only thing you can have on your side.intelligence is a good thing. being a tool is not. just make sure if you're helping them with something, they're helping you with something
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.

I tried that once...although I didn't think it through and had nothing to offer (other than the little sl*t going down on me), which her guy friend animated as my "payback from her".Originally posted by Chrisman

"What are you going to do for me?"
