"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.
Please remove the post edit timelimit!

"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.

After a few days, a post could have pages worth of replies, where people have spent a lot of time and energy thinking about what to write and posting. If there is no time limit, then the original poster can come back, delete his post, and leave a huge thread that makes no sense with the key questions taken out.
For example, suppose Pook decided to delete his posts because he's sick of this place or for whatever reason, how would the DJ bible look then? And what about all the people who spent so much time replying to him?
Bottom line, the posts here became the property of this site, therefore, they should not be so easy to delete. So don't post anything that you are not 100% sure you'll want to remain here. It's only fair really. It's like sending an email, once you've sent it, you cant go into the recipients inbox and delete it. If you're not sure, then don't send it, or don't post.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
In the past there wasn't a time limit and it became a problem. Now there is a time limit and it is not a problem, though it might seem like a problem if you're new to the site.
Dudes, learn to take responsibility for your words. Preview your post a few times before posting and take the time to make sure it says exactly what you want to say. If you're still unsure you have a small window of time to go back and make edits. Beyond that having more time is not the answer--the answer is to be a man and let your post stand as is.
It's so chickensh1t when people try to go back and change things they posted a while ago.
Also, as Cesare pointed out, the moment that other people invest their time contributing to a thread by posting meaningful replies to someone's post, it disrespects their efforts if the original poster goes back and deletes or changes his post so everyone else's reply suddenly makes no sense.
