"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.

Renaming her in your phone contacts; flakes.

Have you ever renamed a chick in your phone contacts something like
###FLAKE###
###STOP TALKING TO HER###
###Expletive Redacted###
etc?

or something along those lines to help you remember not to contact her or how you left it off? well, i did. and then i made the mistake of accidentally emailing her the chat history from our blackberry messenger conversation. so she got an email that showed every line of her messages beginning with ###FLAKE### before her name. Hahahahaa.

She just replied with "??????"

I replied that it was "kind of embarrassing but kind of funny" and that I used that to remind myself that I thought she was flaking and that I shouldn't ask her to hang out. We'll see what happens, but I kind of feel better about it and am laughing.

Moral of the story: if you rename a chick in your contacts, don't email her from your phone because it could show that title in the email.

Good luck out there this weekend.
 

"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.

My question is: How do you even have the email address of this "flake" to even screw-up like that?

Ha, Yeah, I've done that


"Do Not Call EVER" is my most favorite

Which reminds me, I need to put this girls middle name in my phonebook as "Drama"
 

"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.
