"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.

There is this girl I like, and she likes me (or so my friends say), though we are technically just friends, and it might be an opportunity for a long term relationship. The reason I'm posting this, is I'm just wondering what you guys thing about LTR's, I've never been in one. I've just been having trouble deciding if that's what I really want. And if you guys are in favor of it, what is a good way to initiate it? I had a good friend of mine tell me to ask her out for ice cream or something. We have been on a few dates, I even took her to prom, but I think those were mostly just sort of friend things. Any input would be nice.

Thanks guys,
Eiljwa
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I think you have to really connect with her to have an LTR, not just looks and personality but something else. Otherwise I think you'd be wasting your time.

I'am currently in a LTR of 4 months. We started out as friends, f*ckin her never crossed my mind. Then, my friends told me that she liked me. So, she started dressing all sexy n showing off her assests to get my attention. I started noticing her more, spending more one on one time with her. After awhile I asked her out. It has been the best LTR I ever had.

Since you like her and she likes you. Nothing wrong starting a LTR with her. Unless you see somthing in her that is not up to your standards. If it doesnt work out you can always dump her.

Any advice on initiating? We don't really hang out all the time, and never one on one.

You guys like each other, simply ask her to hang out.
 

"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.
