"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.

The last hobby i picked up was photography and it worked out great. I taught myself through articles online, videos, etc. Eventually this turned into paid gigs and I do occasional work for people.
My problem is learning the piano seems a lot more in depth than photography was. Maybe I need to spend more time with it admittedly, or possibly i'm looking in the wrong direction. I don't have time to take private lessons, so online is my only resource. I also travel a lot for work with a 5th wheel so a keyboard is my only option. I want a keyboard that can somewhat mimic the feel of a real piano. What avenue should I take in learning the keyboard and what is a good beginner keyboard(price is no issue).
 

"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.

Developing my skills in the hobby of my choice is important to me. I indulge in my hobbies and try to become as best as i can to my ability. If at some point i feel the need lessons will be necessary, I will take that step if my job allows. For now private lessons are simply not an option.
I will search some more and see what i can find. I was looking into the 88 key digital pianos.
I'm also not sure if i should just go ahead and buy a digital piano or if i should keep trying to learn music theory and reading music before i make a purchase.
