"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.

Should I keep letting her marinate? Or stick a fork in her?

I've been in contact with this HB for about 8 or 9 months now. I initially got her number one night just because it seemed like the thing to do. I met her one night through mutual friends we all went clubbing and got drunk, she ended up giving me a lift home, I got her digits but was really interested in one of her friends. So time went by, somehow she got my number started calling me wanting to spend time with me. At first I gave her the shaft, but one day I finally gave in. We started hanging out and I ended up acually becoming attracted to her. I made the mistake of assuming she was wanting to get serious with me but when I brought up the issue she gave me the LJBF blowoff. At this point maybe I should have nexted her but I continued to be "friends" with her but I treated her like one of my boys. I started bringing girls I was "tappin" around her, she ended up getting jelous. I make plans to do stuff with her but I don't really look at her as a priority so I forget about alot of our dates or cancel on her because something better comes along. She seems to have no problem with this, I can tell i am really getting to her because now everytime I find time to hang out with her she seems to be trying to make exuses to go back to her place, and whenever she bumps into my friends she complains about me and acts as if we're a couple or something. I'm not jumping to any conclusions because I know how females like to play games, but should I start looking for, or start trying to create an opportunity to make a move. Or, should I continue playing it cool and making exuses to spend as little time as possible with her and just wait until she makes a move?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
