"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Anyone at all? Would rushing a frat be a good idea?

Depends on the situation. It's not like I can step out of my house and everyone knows my name. People know me by the places that I go. I frequent certain places from time to time. When I go to those places, the people know me, and in those cases my social proof is high.

If I go to a party, I show up with 1 or 2 friends. I'm invited, so I must obviously know the person who's throwing the party. I talk to that person, and since it's their party, everyone else is gonna at least stop by to say hello to that person. At that time, I introduce myself to those people. Sometime during the party I'm gonna come across that person again, so I talk to them. I believe this builds social value.

I guess, over all, just talk to people that you're around. Sometimes I randomly high five people I don't even know, just to get some attention on me.
