"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.

Following is a fb message thread between me and a HB. I am interested in her and wanted to show my interest. Does this appear desperate??

Hey babe.. Yeah, I am pretty good.. I am in XXX now.. I injured my shoulder during training and out of action for a while.. So thought will make a trip to XXX..

Hw r things with u? any good news? how is ur superstrong mum? U said that she might make a trip here this may.. Is she coming? If she comes, let me know.. would like to c her. :)
 

"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.

I replied to her message after 3 days because I was genuinely busy. But after my reply she hasn't replied..

The fact that you waited 3 days to send a simple reply probably put her off. (I know that would piss me off if someone did that to me. It reeks of discourtesy and disinterest.) As far as the text is concerned, there's a bit much going on in that single text. A LOT of questions....

And this is the way a "mature man" communicates? Wow.

Desperate? Nah, I wouldn't say that. I am kind of curious why you are so interested in seeing her mom, though.
 

"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.

She had to wait 3 days for THAT? Probably thinks "ur" a d!ck. Should've let her know "u" were busy at least.
