"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.

Okay, well this isn't a topic that I've ever seen on here so let me throw it out there..

I've known this guy for about 6 years now. Hes part of my good group of friends. Were a VERY tight knit grou of guys. He goes to school with me, hes one of my roomates. Both of our groups of friends, home and at school, are VERY tight.

Anyway, ALL of my friends have questioned his sexuality. I myself have been convinced hes gay for about 2 years now. It doesn't bother me at all. It doesn't chnage who he is or anything.

So about a week ago he texts me saying we need to have a "talk."
So immediately I'm thinking hes coming out. But we never got down to actually talking. So I just brushed it off, thinking maybe hes not ready yet.

Now today he texts me saying we never had our "talk." So once again I'm thinking hes ready only this time he said he knows I have an idea of what its about. --> We always tlak about him coming out or what not so this is just another rason of why I think thats what were tlaking about.

So my question to guys is IF he does indeed come out how should I act/react and what do you think I should say/do to tell him that no matter what i'll be there for him and i'm glad he came out or w/e
 

"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.

If he does come out act like you really dont care about it that much. Say "Its your choice do whatever i wont judge you by it as long as you dont start hitting on me".....

Wow... you're really asking advice on HOW you should REACT if your friend comes out of the closet.
Can't you really think that out by yourself?...

You really surprised me on how stupid people can get... geez...

Hopefully "the talk" entails only him coming out of the closet and not coming out of the closet then professing his love for you. Assuming the latter doesn't happen, just play it cool. Heck, it's not like you haven't known for the last couple of years.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
