"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.

Some friends and I along with our dates planned to share a limo to split the costs. They put me in charge of getting a limo, since I know a guy at our church who owns a limo company who can get us better rates. Here's the problem:

All the 8-passenger limos on prom night, May 22, are booked. All they have left are a ridiculously big 22-passenger limo (way too expensive even if I did want it) or a 6 passenger executive van.

I'm not an expert on these things, but the words "executive" and "van" just don't seem to go well together. It's like "woman" and "inexpensive." But, I could be wrong, the person I talked to said that they look good on the inside.

For any of you who had prior experience with this, are they nice? Or is this something out of Dumb and Dumber?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

The idea is to live like you're rich for one night, even if you really aren't. It is kinda stupid, but also fun and a good way to get everyone around.

I think I've heard the "executive van" thing. They look kind of look like a large white van on the outside, but the insides are supposed to be equivalent to limos.

Most people around here do something crazy (like horse and wagon or garbage truck) on the entrance, and use the limo to get picked up and shipped to an afterparty. If you want to do something like that, the van's appearance won't really matter. Don't show up in the van you'll look like a pauper.

garbage truck? where do you get one of those? and do u ride in the garbage compartment or in the driver's seat? might as well use a potato sack for a tuxedo.
 

"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.

For my Prom, my group rented a 22 person stretch Ford Excursion. It was the nicest car I have ever been in. It had damn well better been for that money (It was like $180/couple, for a total of about $1900 for two days).

The damn thing had 8 TV screens, 4 DVD players, and 2 PS2's in it, along with a bar that only served pop and a snack bar with ancient food in it.

I didn't really use any of the stuff except for the TV's, but it was pretty cool to have such a behemoth driving my ass around for two days.
