"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.

"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.

It means nothing. 90% of the time when X pokes Y on facebook, Y pokes X back. Its dumb. Don't look into it.

I'm gonna bet it means nothing that they poked you back.

it means they don't hate you, but that's about it

Yeah, it pretty much just means they don't hate you. Don't look too far into this one.

Facebook is an attention and status anxiety outlet for women, who comprise 60-70% of its users. All they want is a long friend list and full 'wall'. Snap out of it.:cool::rolleyes:
-edit: see 'attention hor'
