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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
I just don't like children because children will come up with responses like this, what good will it do trying to insult other people over the internet.Then all the potheads crying out "Make weed legal!" It's pathetic , but then again all the potheads will defend this thread with their life like they have been doing.
Really did you just call me a child? LOL that's cool but then again good job contradicting yourself ...but my "Childish," Response still show's merit....pot heads are an epidemic and serve no real purpose in society and all they are doing is corrupting more and more people and seeing the majority of people in HS smoke weed and the fact that even middle school kids are beginning to smoke shows what weed is doing to our society....but then again I guess the best course of action is to make it legal....ya.War Against Betaism said:I'm no pothead but what annoys me are responses like these:

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.
First off I didn't call you a child, I said that your last line was a very childish response, duh. And you're really exaggerating just how bad weed makes people, if they weren't potheads then they would just be lazy slackers, it's not like if you remove weed from the earth that potheads are suddenly going to become civilized and productive human beings.j0n024 said:Really did you just call me a child?
