"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.

yea i learned to accept it and i dont blame it on anyone. someone told me "we all do with it, live with it and find ways around it." dont blame it on anyone. you can try to talk to them, that helps. learn how to make them happy. my parents are very similar, not that strict tho.

"i have to stay in one place no matter where i go" half the time they tell me to say if i go anywhere, but they rarely care about that

"im not alloud to hang out with people they dont know" that's ridiculous, your parents had to get to kno em sometime. that one you should easily be able to reason. "if you used that rule before, how would you know any of my friends?"
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
