"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.

What do you guys do here?

I'm a Designer/Programmer. I'm always thinking of the next new thing, and always thinking of some idea to hustle on the side, eg. come up with an interesting app taking into account my interests.

I also live in the gym with a goal to appear on fitness magazines covers - I'm in the gym 5/days a week.

I had many people coming to me saying I should train people as I get lots of people asking me how I do this and how I do that.

What do you guys do here? Anyone here have their own business?

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.
