"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.

I guess you didn't quite read the original post all that well, for you'd see I had no problem mentioning how there were times he was doing well in various aspects of his life, whereas I wasn't.

I have nothing against him. I have something against his actions. And there's no way I can "embarrass him in his absence to strangers." Does he feel embarrassed?
Hmmm.. Wonder what makes you so sensitive about other men.

This site is primarily about women. So, I find it interesting when guys come here and spill the beans about how other men are "jealous of them".
I thought this was typical chick behavior. Do you romantically like this guy, or what?

You have nothing against him but you have something against his actions. That didn't make much sense. What's the difference? You are sounding even more like a woman now.


Don't like the thread? Don't bother reading and responding.
I love the thread actually. I like to trash threads like this. It's my favorite pastime.

I think, setting aside the "feedback" you got here, the question you need to ask yourself is, why are you feeling the need to come here and moan about someone who's supposedly insignificant in your life?

What you want SS to do? Call him up and tell him to get over it?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
