"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 am currently having a problem with my roommates. I live in a student house with 5 guys including myself. There is 3 levels to the house. Me and my housemate upstairs, are very similar in our lifestyles, and both try our best to keep a cleanly house. The 2 who live in the basement are complete slobs. They're rooms a total dump, and they couldn't care a less what our common rooms look like. My housemate upstairs, is a bodybuilder, and acted partially as an authoritative figure, and kept the other guys in line somewhat. He is gone this semester for CO OP, which leaves me and the 3 slobs. Of course they took advantage of the situation, leaving they're garbage, plates, empty bottles, all over our common area. Im a person who likes a clean house, and cant stand picking up other peoples sh1t.
So far i am a month in, and have already got into countless fights with the other 3 about they're habits around the house. Its totally disrespectful and inconsiderate what they are doing. I have tried several different methods of dealing with this. I have lead by example, not leaving a single mess myself, and even cleaning up theirs. I have tried talking to them, which always ends up in an argument. I have tried reverse psychology. when it comes down to it, they are just lazy unmotivated human beings. This is destroying our friendship, and i still am locked into this lease for a another 16 months
 

"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.

Sorry but that is life. Living with room mates suck. Anyone with experience will tell you that. You sacrifice your personal space for cheaper rent. Suck it up or move or go crazy on that nga and kill him.

I have a lot of problems with my roommates too. Only one out of the 4 of us is a slob though so it's not bad. Their three dogs always in the house chewing up Sh!t is what gets me.

You either look at getting out of your lease and see if its worth it or accept it.

Stay gone and hang out with other friends etc. and keep your own room clean.
 

"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.

One or two roommates isn't that bad. When you go with more there are increased odds you get a douche of a person to live with.

Contact Student Housing. Tell them that you're concerened that your slooby room mates will draw mice & roaches in to the house and that is a HEALTH HAZARD! I'm sure those guys had to sign a lease just like you did. On that lease it probably says they have to keep the place clean. (My dorm room in college had an inspection every Friday)

If that fails, ask to transfer to another building.

if they won't move you...go to the pet store, buy some brown mice & turn the little buggers loose. Take pics of them eating at the trash left by others and take those to the Student Housing.

It has now elevated to a true "health hazard" (even though those mice are probably cleaner than your downstairs roomies!) They will have to call an exterminator & force the guys to clean up or get thrown out.
