"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.

Looking for ideas on how to avoid the "shopping blues" with the chicks. When shopping, I've noticed this is one more time they make a power grab.

Basically, referring to a night out with her, that turns into a shopping nightmare, by power grab. Then of course you get home and she's too tired, you know. Absolutely worn out.

Ideas, guys...
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I don't understand what you mean by power grab. I go shopping with my wife all the time, then again I like to shop and I like clothes.


That's one of the advantages about being "good with clothes"or "having style" i'd always when I was single get plates / girls to take me shopping with them and i get to watch them change into **** me pumps and skirts and ****

Say you aren't going. But honestly, have something else lined up....don't just sit home with your thumb up your ass. Be busy. If you aren't, it's going to drop her IL.

Whatever dude. All that does is make you a metrosexual. Men don't "shop". Men go buy what they need. Women "shop".

Shoppings not bad. You gotta let a girl have a little fun every now and then. its jsut about being able to say its enough and move on to something else. so take your girl out, let her browse around a couple hours and buy some things, then say enough shopping for now and go somewhere else. also limit shopping to 1, 2 hour session per month. Lol thats all i can take personally.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

By power grab, I mean going and wearing ourselves out doing her thing, then coming home to no sex, ("I'm too tired")... On our "night out". Let's face it, that should include some nookie afterwards, parent's night out is a date, in my mind.

I'd rather shovel cow sh|t than go shopping. Drive her to the store if you want and then sit in the car and take a nap or read a book or something.
