"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.

My older brother is being forced to go to Hong Kong alone for 2 months on business. Im not thrilled with the fact he is going. I have always looked after him my entire life. He is the closest thing i have to an actually friend. I would give my life for him to live. Thats the kind of relationship we have. I remember one time he got into a fight with a kid at school, he got hurt big time. The next day i walked up to the kid and choked him out in front of the whole cafe. I actually thought i killed the kid.

Im concerned with him going to China. I dont even know what to do, i dont want him to end up hurt or something happening to him. His gf doesnt seem to even care to much about the fact. I am concerned for his safety while staying there.

Any tips you know of that i can give him? I would really appreciate different inputs. I would go just so he's not solo in a new place, but i cant due to the fact im at college. He isnt a tough male and is a very weak phyiscally.

Regards,

John
 

"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.

Is your brother's business in Hong Kong a secret underground no-holds-barred ancient fighting tournament known as the Kumite?

No?

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Hong Kong is pretty safe from what I hear.

Apart from the Triads and open robberies and purse snatchers armed with knives and gangs and stuff, its pretty safe.

Its like New York, but with more Asian people.

Anyway dude, you can sleep in peace. Hong Kong is not that much of "China" as you perceive it to be. It's pretty much westernized, except few can speak english :eek:
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Hahaha

As for the OP, relax man. Hong Kong isn't that bad, my best friend is over there teaching english right now and he says it's pretty much like any major north american city, except with a white minority / asian majority. He also says people over there are infatuated with american culture, and that an average north american can enjoy some nice status over there especially with the girls. Your bro will have a lot of fun.

Besides, he's your older bro, shouldn't he be the one worried about you?

Man, Americans always think its about America dont they?

All western people are seen as being exotic in Asia.
 

"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.
