"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.

I have been experimenting with this last few dates I have been on and with new women texting prior to the dates and they seem to love this...

The context is that you talk about a secret mission you two are going to go on and then the whole date has this 007esque type of feel to it where you both are doing things together to "avoid" certain things or to get certain things...

The last date I was on we went for a walk/talk in an area with trails and the mission was to avoid having anyone speak to us...it created this hilarious thing where we literally both would look away everytime someone walked by and then bust up laughing after...

Eventually someone did say hi and we argued over who the person said hi to and who won...needless to say it ended pretty well and she has displayed super high interest in seeing me again...

So what are some other ideas for "secret missions" I can try out?
 

"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.
