"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.

Just gonna brag on myself for a bit. I've been working to become a self barber for nearly 8 months now. I was looking at some of my haircuts today, and they look pretty damn good. They're not barbershop crispy by any means, but they do look good. I'm confident that I can give myself a 7/10 haircut whenever I feel like it. They're about as good as my friend who cuts hair.

So this is a boost to the SMV and confidence. Now, there's no reason I shouldn't step out of the house looking presentable and sharp. Now that I'm more confident in my hair, I can really start working on getting these waves deep, and getting myself athletic. That athleticism is gonna be the next big hurdle in taking my confidence to the next level.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

There’s no substitute for a professional job. Get mine done by a female salon stylist for $25. If it ups your confidence level though, then it’s a good thing for you.

Oh for sure. Nothing's gonna beat the barber, but that doesn't mean I can't do a pretty dang good job myself and stay sharp. I have to go to the barber every week and that gets tiring and expensive sometimes. For the record, I DMed a barber on Instagram and he told me I "killed it." So if I go to the barber every 2-3 weeks and cut it every week that I don't go, I should be looking good all the time.
