"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.

"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.

You could get some new clothes, improve posture, smile more, clear up any acne problems, work out more, get a tan, and just relax and be cool about things

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

First off you mentioned you was over weight? This may be true it all depends on your hight exc. You may not be over weight you may just need to tone up. Maybe you could post your specs?
Clothes- The funny thing I've noticed about clothes is that you can find really good bargains if you look hard enough. You don't have to shop at the most expensive store. Most expensive thing I have in my closet is a couple of American Eagle shirts that a chick bought me. I myself don't shop there. I shop Sears, JC Penny, and of course Wal-Mart. Yeah you heard me, Wal-Mart they do have SOME good clothes that look da*m good. I can't think of how many compliments I've got from people before when I was wearing Wal-Mart clothing. You just have to know what your doing. They also have really good buys on shoes.
You said you was black, I'm mixed or something lol so Im a darkish brown. So I'd say you need to stick to medium and light colors. Dark colors are ok but I believe for blacks lighter colors are the way to go. Colors like, Red, blue, baby blue, light brown, light green, exc.
Always try to find clothes for the season your in but also look for special buys on other seasons. Example: Say your shopping for shorts in summer and you come across a nice sweater thats really cheap, buy it. Always stock up. That's where a lot of people go wrong is just buying for that paticular season and waiting till last minute to buy long sleeves or whatever it is that they need for the next season. If I only had a dollar for everytime I heard someone say in school "I need some summer clothes." Its not good to be wearing "hoodies" in the middile of summer
Pants are very crucial to your wardrobe. Blue Jeans, kaki pants (sp) Cargo Pants, Black Jeans ( I myself not a fan of them)
Always make sure you have a couple of each. Buy a few different colored kaki/ cargo pants.
Shoes- I believe shoes are even more importaint than pants because believe it or not thats the first thing that a lot of people notice. So you need ATLEAST 4 pairs. Tennis shoes, Casal Shoes such as K-swiss or something. Boots, no not cowboy boots unless your into that sorta thing. Dress shoes, these can be loafers, exc. The reason for all the shoes is the different outfits. I myself don't liek to wear tennis shoes with kaki pants, then again thats my preference just using it as an example.
You possibly won't like everything I mentioned because each person has a different style. Just take what you do liek and augment it some.
Also if anyone else could add anything, Im sure I've missed something.
Good Luck in your change...

And to tell ya the truth, I'm a sucky drawer unless you count stick figures.All kiddin aside...say a guy 5'7 weighs 150 pounds, this may be over weight to him but a guy that's 6'3 he would be considered skinny.
I hope this helps?
