"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 an introvert and have been married twice and both were extroverts. I think it's the dynamic between the 2 people that matters most. If the extroverted partner does not accept the nature of the introverted partner (or vice versa) trouble is bound to happen.
Boom, davewe nailed it.

I'm an introvert and my wife in in the middle somewhere. I knew long ago I could never marry an extrovert because they couldn't 'get' it.

I have better social skills than most too. I just draw my energy from being alone, and it drains me to be around people too much.
 

"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.

For some in here....Introvert doesn't mean shy. I can be quite loud and be the center of attention, enjoy it for a short while, and then just want to go home and watch tv alone. It doesn't take much to get my social fill.
Another good post. Most people have no clue at all what being introverted actually means.

I always lumped introversion with being unpopular.
If a guy walks into a situation and gets all kinds of attention, makes new friends quickly gets invited out alot etc...he becomes more outgoing.

Versus the guy no one wants to chat up or even be seen around who will eventually go home alone and never get a phone call unless somebody needs a favor. hence the introvert
