"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.

Take this little test to see if you are more left brain vs. right brain.

Maybe you might need to start developing your right brain skills, they will help out in this whole becoming a better person than your left brain. I can make the dancer turn either way at will.

Try doing math equations then blink your eyes to make it switch to the left brain rotation.

Try concentrating on a happy emotion, or feeling your entire body from head to toe and then blink your eyes to switch to your right brain.

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

impetuous

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You do realize that popular psychology tends to over exaggerates the lateralization of brain function? There is some truth to "right vs left" brain functions though.

With that being said, I couldn't get her to turn clockwise. ****. That means I got to go crunch some numbers now. I was planning on reading Aristotle.

This is true. In fact, in the last 10 years, neuroscience has been leaning towards more of a "up brain/down brain" theory that's gaining popularity, and many are abandoning the left/right which is 40 years or so old (ancient in terms of science, but probably still has some truth to 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.

I took one of those online tests once that was supposed to determine if I was "right brained" or "left brained". It came out that I was "balanced brained" i.e. the test cannot decide which side I was dominant in.

Ah, the right-spinning dancer has a left leg that stretches and contracts like silly-putty. That's why it's instinctively so hard to see.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
