"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.

Here is my problem:
I have this ex (I broke up with her about 3 weeks ago and since then I didn't contact her at all) but now I really need something from her (she can help my parents with some very important stuff).
So now I am thinking how to approach her...the thing is that when I broke up with her I was very clear that "I don't need you as a friend" thing :rolleyes:
I am not worried about what she thinks really,but I don't want to be some kind of hypocrite.

So any suggestions ???
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I would email her and explain to her how your parents could really use her help. I wouldn't normally suggest using email as a mode of contact as its AFC, however in this scenario, it will allow you to explain how she can help someone without her getting all emotional on you and drawing conclusions before you get a chance to explain yourself.

That's the reason why I am a little "confused" about this.That is what I am trying to avoid.

I agree with you 100%. However women prefer it as a mode of communication because they like to avoid conflict, they would rather pretend their isn't conflict rather than deal with it.

This is exactly my point. Your more likely to get an over reaction if you phone her. hence the email suggestion.

give your parents her number, and they can call her - leave your self out of it.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
