"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.

she held that against me? Is this behaviour acceptable on a work place?We don't work same shifts since I work over nights and she works days.However,i ran into her in parking lot sometimes or see her around work.I say hi,how are you and she ignores me.she used to be friendly towards me.

I think the reason why she is ignoring me is I pointed out she put on so much weight almost a year ago.I am not proud of it.It was just a thoughtless comment on my part and I wish i could take it back.I apologized to her when she told me she was hurt by it. I felt bad and I wish I could take it back.She would respond when I say hi but she woudnt say hi first or initiate a convo.

Now she completely ignores when I see her in the elevators .Its been almost a year since and she has lost the weight again. Is it possible that she held that against me even after all this time?
 

"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.

Possible but why sweat the small stuff?
