"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.

Ok, so I've been trying to improve my social status at my school. I began sitting with the "popular kids" in one of my classes, but I'm having a bit of trouble becoming friends with them because whenever we get time in class to talk they all start talking to each other and they talk and joke about topics that I know nothing about (such as other popular kids). How should I go about joining in their conversation?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Do you want the safe answer, or the "sorry I asked" answer? I can give you both, it's your choice.

The "sorry I asked" number would be my choice though, your supposed to be sorry sometimes in life, it makes you stronger.

what is the "sorry I asked", nah, don't explain it.

My suggestion... keep doing class work but keep listening to their conversations, and if they get onto a subject that is something general, ...tonto, jump on it!

Story time. Last year there was this really hot girl I sat next to, and she talked with her friend. I had just moved to that school and knew nobody. I had a dying urge EVERYDAY to join their conversation, but it never seemed right.

Finally those freaks talked about something other than their friends, and I took the opportunity to join in. A couple jokse here and there, some rapport with the both of them, we all started to get to know each other.

I personally believ the safe answer is better, but you need the "sorry I asked".

Gatekeeper said it though, beat me to it, with the safe answer.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
