"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.

Ok, I took care of some business this morning on my day off and decided to have lunch at this coffee shop I've never been to before downtown. So I'm outside (it's a little chilly in short sleeves) eating and this young (23?) black-haired gal sits down at the small table in front of me, then tells me to watch her stuff (coffee, books) while she goes and gets her coat out of her car. I say, "Sure." So we're sitting there and I'm getting too cold so I move to the inside (also to recharge my laptop) and about 10 minutes later she comes in and sets on the couch next to me after saying, "You got a little to cold out there didn't you?" while passing by me, to which I said, "Yeah, I did." I'd say she's an HB8, but could fall to 7 if I checked her out more.

Anyway, just as I'm writting this, I missed another opportunity to get a number because she's now getting up and leaving. She had a nice wavy hair style. She was probably thinking why I didn't speak to her more (afterall she approached me Twice within 15 minutes). I'm just not in the mood and I'm a moron for not trying to get her number for a later time when I might be in the mood for trying to get her to let me get into her pants. I guess it was just bad timing on her part. I feel sorry for her because she just walked by outside for me to see her again (nice ass). God I feel so sorry for that lonely jet-black-haired gal. **** I should have said something to make her FEEL good (it's cloudy outside), but I really need rest and I'm not in the mood (I'm also waiting on an important call).

I guess that I don't need anymore help now. I know I'm a fool for not pushing myself to set up, pay attention, and be open when opportunity knocks. I should be given several lashes for not taking action and more or less being an ass to her by completely shutting her out, the way a woman would shut me out if I was trying to make conversation with her.
 

"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.

Another missed opportunity by not being in the moment (and taking action on it).

Like the others posters said. But it's OK, because you know to be ready next time the same situation comes up, so you didn't totally lose!
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
