"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 know there's a similar thread on here, but this one is different. Let me explain. I'm in between jobs right now and basically i'm looking for ideas to make a little extra money on the side. Does anyone here have there own small, Part-Time/Full-Time business? If so could you please tell me the steps it took to get into your business. I'm just really curious, would like some tips. I Have a couple rough ideas such as, Lawnmowing, Teaching possibily older people about computers. Please share your knowledge with me. Thank you,
 

"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 do painting on the weekends. You wouldnt believe how much money people pay for you to paint their house as long as you do a professional job. Anyways I learned through working at home depot and eventually started up my own little business if you can call it that.

Breathe. Rest. Focus. Passion. Water. Love. Rhythm. Flexibility.

Combine these eight elements and your life will be singular. These are the key ingredients that drive success.

I think the computer idea is awesome. Are you really good at computers? Is it a passion of yours? Focus on IMPROVING your knowledge about computers! Get to the point where you can even go out and help people fix their own basic computer problems.

Helping older people learn about computers is great! Sure, there's lots of people and classes offering this, but there's still a lot of opportunity if you make it! Start advertising in retirement homes and make flyers to get your name out there. Not just elderly people...there's also a lot of middle-age and young people who don't know sh*t.

Zen Master Sparky. Right on.


Starting your own business? Go to school for chiropracty (Sp?) They make an average of 80-100K/year.

More practical idea you say? Be a Pimp with health insurance.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
