"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.

There is a new girl at my job, she is 26 and I'm 21 but she doesnt yet know how old I am. I know I can pass for 25, but I decided I'd rather dodge the question rather than lie. If she asks, I'll say something like 'Im not quite as old as you, but I wont hold it against you."

anyway, I got her number last week but I came down with a nasty virus and have been bedridden since, so I didnt call her cuz I couldnt take her out immediately. If she asks why I havent called, I think I"ll say something c/f like 'I hope you havent been losing a lot of sleep over it." If I feel okay by Saturday I'll take her out for drinks.

So the question: how much of an obstacle is my age? Do you think dodging the age question is a good idea, or would it come off as some stupid game?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
LOL...see if you can catch her on the way out of work...ask her if she wants to go grab a drink. Just in a casual way.

That's if you're worried about age.

26 to 21...it isn't really THAT big a deal.

You can both get into a bar, you're fine.

You should never really look at age as an issue. Your focal point should be on the girl and how to have a good time with her. I dated a 23 year old when I was 19 and I asked her why she liked me when she could get so many people her age. She said "becasue you're a good looking guy, who's really nice to me and I enjoy spending time with you." Having all those bases covered will make then think less of your age and more of you the person they're with.
