"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.

Remind yourself that everything that you don't have and truly want is on the other side of some kind of fear. Any goal worth having is beyond your comfort zone, or you'd already have it. If you do exactly want you fear in pursuit of a dream or an important goal, you will often find that it's the surest path to success.

No, I didn't write this, I took it from the web, but it was a cut and paste job, so I can't remember the source. I just wanted to post some inspirational message to you guys for this weekend. Remember these words as you decide whether or not to approach that pretty girl.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

THAT is a very interesting message to me!

So it says if you somehow nervous about doing something it will almost surely be worth it, no matter what it is? (except for stupid things maybe)

My interpretation is pretty literal : So many times, we want something, but we lack the courage to commit ourselves because the goal entails some kind of self sacrafice that is beyond our current comfort zone

its similar to making a putt in golf or taking a penalty in soccer

its a simple thing to do, in practice, in training - when it doesnt matter

doing such a simple thing in front of thousands of people? its not the same task. now it matters.

confidence, mental strength, not letting the worry about it get to you - thats all it is

Yeah but that's hardly anything new, everybody knows it and you can find it in every 2nd post on this forum. Good on you though, if you can take the action where others write the words!
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

It's always good to be reminded of things we've heard before. Sometimes one tiny nuance in the way it is re-worded can resonate with us.

Thanks for the post, Rubirosa.
