"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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I guess I'd have to see it on an actual person, but number 2 looks really goofy and corny. I like 1 the best, then 2, but are you trying to make this your main attire of clothing?

I say go to Ross or TJ Max. I have a shirt from Aeropostale that was on sale for I think 10 or 15 dollars that is nice. But I think what makes it nice is that it fits me and show off my shape.

My brand name clothes seem to fall apart quicker too.
 

"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.

#3. I think I actually looked into getting that shirt. It's main appeal is the different color & pattern on the inside of the collar. Now if I knew it had the same pattern on the inside of the cuffs I'd snag it in a secong (and I hate button-ups).

#1 is way too plain. If you want something like that save yourself big money and buy something similar at practically any other clothing retail store. I've never really been impressed with Marc Ecko either. I never really thought that it's quality lived up to its price tag (although I do have a hoodie from Marc that's banging). TJ Maxx often has Marc Ecko at deep discounts (more of his "Cut-n-Sew" line, which I think that shirt is)

#2. Didn't really check the closer up pics. It's definately a shirt that you need one hell of a personality to pull off. I do think it would look amazing on the right person with the right kind of style though.

I wish buckle had better prices on their stuff though. I really do see items I like on there quite often.

Send me the $89 you were going to spend on a shirt and I'll make you a nicer one. Or you can go to Steve and Barry's and get the same shirt for $8.

#2 is the one that I most prefer, but I have to say I still don't particularly like it.

I wear plain shirts (burgundy, royal blue, blood red & purple ones) with a black tie to university almost every day, I never stop getting compliments on them.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

The third shirt was the coolest one of all, but still pricey - like others have said. You made a good decision in going to another store.
