"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 straw that broke the camel's back was the gas bill I got the other day. That's it, I'm getting a new job. Fvck this place. The pay is 5hit, I get treated like 5hit. I'm an electronic repair guy who shovels snow, picks up garbage, and builds crates. In case you're wondering, yes, I did get hired to repair electronic crap.

I think the biggest problem is I've been here so fvcking long and I started here when I was young. I was an AFC at the time, and I've been treated like one. Even when I tried to end the treatment, it was forced upon me. Once people develope an opinion of you, its almost impossible to change it.

Anyway, I'm doing up my resume tonight and I'm starting tomorrow pronto. Hopefully the social skills that I learned in the past few years will help me out.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Sounds like you've outgrown the place to me. As you say, people pigeon hole you very quickly and it fvcks them up if you appear not to fit in them anymore.

A real tip though, when you do your letter and at interview, make a point of not sh1tting on your current job or Boss. Think up positive stuff so you don't come across as a moaner or potential troublemaker.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that one, and what kind of an answer to give if I'm asked "So, why are you leaving your current job? I'm thinking of saying something like " I feel that I'm not able to use the full potential of my skills"

I fvcking hate job interviews. I have a difficult time acting so damn phony and bull5hitting about my weaknesses and all that crap.

Boss: Why do you want to work for us?
Me: Because you have an excellent reputation and provide and interesting and challenging working environment for your employees
Me Thinking: (I need more money than my current 5hit job pays me)
