"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.

Hey I was just wondering what everyones thought are on showing interest in a girl that has shown some interest in you, in a social setting, basically not isolating and asking her for her number or whatever. Like doing it in front of everyone because the opportunity for isolation doesnt happen.

On one end it shows your ballzy. On another its not as intimate with 10 other people around listening and giving their two cents.

Ive been having this problem on facebook too.

Heres the convo on wall posts ( which I relate to social circle too because everyone can see the wall posts)

her:haaa.
me: whats so funny?
her: Your face! haha whats up cutie. haha
(this is what i want to say)
me: u laugh at my face and then call me cutie.. im confused.. lets talk about it over dinner 6pm sound good?

Thoughts?
 

"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.

Ooooh it's a thin line to walk. I've done it quite a few times (heh I'm a dancer, I like an audience). First you need to make the girl comfortable with you. Then you yourself need to do it in a way that it's just like a normal chit-chat. Not dramatically. Never put her under pressure. This isn't a marriage proposal in a Hollywood movie in which she will enthusiastically say yes and you two live happily ever after. Try not to make it a Yes or No question. Make it a Choice A or Choice B one if you can.

I wouldn't do it on Facebook wall though. That's just weird.

Agreed. Asking her out like that would be way too dramatic and put a lot of pressure on her. Yeah im more the subtle type anyways. Thanks for the input. Yeah facebook wall would be kinda wierd but I was just thinking, like ask in a half joking way, like how I set it up. Its just that I have not seen her often on campus and I met her a while back (couple months) and she is still leaving me FB posts.. I feel that she is fishing for me to ask her out, but a phone call would just be too awkward after not talking to her for that long. Hmm I dunno, Im hoping ill bump into her soon.

What kind of dancer are you btw?
And have you taken the ballsy approach and how did that turn out?
