"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.

Is it better to flake in person or via text?

I have a date tomorrow with this girl. However, I just realized, I have an appointment and the weather will be absolutely dreadful anyway.

I was going to text her that I can't make it and to reschedule. Then I realized, I'll see her sometime today in the course of my work. Do I text her or do I do it in person? Which is better? Perhaps it doesn't really matter? Thanks.
 

"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.

Why are you trying to date a co worker? If you see her during the course of the day, I would do it in person. That way you can set something else up faster and maybe use the weather as an excuse to get her over to your place instead. I mean that's what you really want isn't it? Only text when you don't have a chance of personal contact.

Oh, no. She's not a coworker. Far from it. I told her in person anyway and she just suggested we have lunch right then and there so it went well.
