"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.

There are obviously many different types of emotions and many different circumstances in which we may feel them. Anger, sadness, love, regret...etc.

Who has thought about when it's appropriate to show them and when we'd be better off trying to keep it to ourselves?

I'm an emotional guy. I really don't like it. I wish I felt less. I hate that I feel the need to express them. Sometimes I know I should express them, as on occasion they can be used to my benefit, but sometimes judgment can get a little clouded and I can express the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Yeah, while you were typing that I was having a girl wipe me down after a wild 10 minutes of passion.

What was the question again?

Yeah, to some degree, but sometimes you can use your emotions to your benefit with women. You have to be able to turn it on and off. I'm just trying to determine when.
 

"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.

Did you mean to say you were cleaning yourself up after a wild 30 seconds of passion alone in your bedroom?

For me, my rule would be show as many positive emotions as possible, and try to hide any negative emotions you feel (anger, jealousy etc). You can still punish girls when appropriate (by withdrawing attention for example), but you should try to remain in control at all times. Noone wants to be around people who come across as negative.
