"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 greatest city on Earth.
I think I am attractive. I just don't know how to approach girls, usually most of my girlfriends approached me lol. How should I open up? There will be tons of giirls dancing, and most likely on drugs and alcohol. This girl and I just broke up, so I'm just looking to have fun at this rave. I don't really rave either. Should I just go up to them and start dancing or what lol.
 

"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.

Stop worrying. Go have fun

Edit: but seriously, it probably feels like **** if you just got dumped so your wanting to get with anything that moves that you think will be a kick in the face to your ex. Wrong attitude to have, new people works in the short term but you will still end up hung up on her for a while. If you were the one that did the dumping then what I just wrote is irrelevant.

Just go up to them, say hi. Conversation isn't as hard as people on this forum and modern society make it out to be. If your confident in whatever you are saying the people will respond well to you. Its not so much about what you talk about or say as how you project yourself. Actions speak louder than words. Dont be too needy with girls, they can sense it.

justanothernormalguy - That was good advice... for most everyday encounters. I don't know if that applies at a rave.

Some of those girls might be so insanely fvcked up that your words will just be colors to them (I wish I was kidding). Raves can get insane, to the point where you could go up to a random girl, start making out without saying a word, and fvcking her 20 minutes later. Then again, I don't know if all raves are like the ones I've seen or heard about around here. Maybe they aren't all as crazy.

My advice, be the outgoing fun guy that isn't a "downer" to anyone. You may not need to "approach" per se. Be approachable. Be the guy people know can have a good time. When you are dealing with people on drugs, that is literally all you need.
 

"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.

rave chics are easy which is why I never dated them. Do some E. Get fvcked up, hang out together, go smoke some weed later, bang em and pretend like nothing ever happened...do another chic at the next rave. I have friends in their 30s who are still pulling that one.

Sorry about your buddy man.
