"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 that you and I disagree on a lot of things but very well done. I even see you are calling a child "brother". Kinda strange but in this case I could see the effect it would have on him, giving him respect while at the same time letting him know that what he did was wrong.

Points for you.
Disagreement, my brother, is part of perspective respect. I respect yours even though I may not agree with it.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

That was all very good, don't get me wrong, but you're "real men" stuff... I don't totally agree with it. This kid did soemthing and he was ashamed -let him cry, thats real emotion, and thats ok. The real men part is about NEVER doing anything that would make you feel ashamed. I would have let him cry, but tried to comfort him and firmly tell him that he should never do anything that makes him feel shame in himself because that is what a true man does.
Don't say it, dear boy, DO IT!
