"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.

There's a sentiment on here that becoming MORE everything will remove your barriers to female interest level. Unfortunately, all of us have ONE or MORE areas that are holding us back that requires LESS.

There's little discussion here on identifying when to become LESS of something: Less obnoxious, less desperate, less feminine looking, less boring, infinitum.

But there is a way to avoid going down blind alleys. It's called the RUTHLESSLY HONEST FRIEND.

See, other people can easily SEE our shortcomings but we cannot see them ourselves. Pick a person you respect, and ask them for an honest inventory of your personality and to list your flaws in order. You'll be surprised at what you hear.

If more than one person tells you something (that hairstyle doesnt work, you have bad breath, youre being obnoxious,) then chances are good you've got a problem.

You cant FIX it until you know what it is.

Use the ruthlessly honest friend.
 

"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.

I disagree with this mentality. People will subconciously show hatred towards another person because a person has a big nose , fat, or their color of their skin. Can that person really fix it? Nah.

Look, when people don't like something about you. YOU WILL KNOW IT. It is up to you and your self respect if you think it's worth fixing.

hey, michael jackson did it. :D

okok, back to the topic. Yea, I actually did this...but I got many POSITIVE answers. People told me what they liked about me AND gave examples of people who have traits that are exact opposites. They just said that I have to be more social, because I have that potential....and it's worked.:cool:

You have to want the truth, to be capable of valueing it.
