"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.

Nice tip for all the fellas

"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.

ha i slept with my best (female) friend before

i dont actually think thats what the friendzone is btw. plenty of people sleep with their friends (real actual proper friends) from time to time - its a low key way of something happening, that if both parties are chill is pretty good (as long as it doesn't change the dynamic)

the "friendzone" isn't with your actual good friends (who see you as you really are, at your best, natural funny easy organic) - its with people you dont really know yet where you try and act supplicating, like a weird version of what you think "a nice person is" - stilted, boring, dull - ie not how you are with your actual friends

girls dont put you in this zone, you do it yourself by acting this unnatural way. you're not friends with these people and the reason you have no chance with them isn't because your are 'friends' (youre not) - its because you are being deathly boring and dull

with girls you are real actual friends with its not really that hard for something physical to happen with, but only if you are chill about it, not looking for it, can take it or leave it - or more importantly thats not the reason you are friends with them (or they you)

the "friendzone" should be renamed the puppyzone - its more accurate and also describes your own behavior when in this zone (which friendzone really doesnt!)
