"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.

Im 16 and a junior at school but im not allowed to go to parties because my mom is very very religous and over protective. And i can't talk her out of it because she always says "once your out my house you can do whatever you want but for not you'll follow my rules". Can't sneak out due to my moms work schedule because parties usually go on till real late and my mom gets home early. So do you guys think this will hurt my chances??

And another thing, does cold approaching really work at school, i read a few articles about it but some of the time i don't know any other way to approach a girl, especially if i see her in the hallway.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

my suggestion is tell your mom I'm sixteen i deserve some freedom to be with my friends and if she don't listen u don't listen to her and eventfully she'll become more reasonable even if she grounds you at first keep trying and as for your other question yes cold approaches at school can work if done right

**** it and go to a party. She'll realize that you're not a little kid anymore. If you're not willing to change the status quo, then neither will she.

use scripture on her... or make her feel guilty... with scripture.

if you guys ever get into an argument... bring up the no friends and party thing.

"you dirty slutty wh0re! why can't i go? because you're a religious zealot? your religion is for idiots! why should i honor my parents when they can't even honor me?"

then kick her shins. should do the trick.

btw, parties are pretty dumb anyways. you'll figure that out after high school. there's cooler ways to hang out. and no, not in a foggy car -- the non sexual way.
 

"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.

Or you can do like I did and pretend what she told you wasnt really serious. And then just do what you want. If you leave and shes not there who cares? Call her and tell her youll be home at a reasonable hour. Theres nothing more fun than being a rebellious teenager

I'm a senior in HS, and I didn't go to a party till senior homecoming, just a few weeks ago. I made the mistake of telling my parents that it was a homecoming party, and they got all weird about it. Wanted to see what my friend who I was going with looked like, and my mom even gave me money to get a taxi if I didn't like what was going on! My parents would rather me stay at home too, like yours, so they try and guilt me. I'll never make the mistake of telling them I'm actually going to a party. I'm going to a party tonight, but I'm only telling my parents that I'm going to the hockey game and then sleeping over at my friends house.

As somebody already recommended, just say you're going to sleep over at your friends house. What momma doesn't know won't hurt her. Good luck! By the way, the first party I went to, I had a ball!

Rebelling against your parents is part of growing up. Just go and deal with the consequences later.

Somethings are easier said than done. But, just tell your mom you love her and understand why she is this way. Then, tell her how you feel about being your age and wanting to just have fun.
