"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.
skipping 8th through 10th? >.>

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

How is that even possible?
Honestly, you wouldn't even pass the GED... the GED has 11th-12th year type of questions. Not hard... but you've missed THREE years of school.
You'd have to study pretty hard to pass it.

Just study like a mad man and take the test. You will probably be better educated than most because frankly high school is s%@#$. You will end up keeping more information than most if you really apply yourself to learning/studying/passing the test. Most people forget most of the garbage they learned in high school soon after they graduate. College is what matters.

They don't look at your diploma or GED. Any moron can get a diploma.
They look at your SAT scores.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Wtbfail, let me tell you my story.
I basically stopped going to school in 7th grade too.
When I turned 16 (min. age) I bought some GED study books, studied, and took the GED.
I then took a semester at a community college because I needed the credits to join the Marine Corps.
When I left the Marine Corps (4 years later) I returned to a community college
and worked toward a transfer degree (pre-engineering) to go to a university.
I worked hard and ensured I got excellent grades.
That right there opened up every door I needed.
Now I am about to finish my BS in electrical engineering at the very top of my class.
I am going to be able to apply, and most likely be accepted, to any grad school I choose due to my near perfect college performance. I already work as an engineer and make more money (hourly) than almost everybody I know.
I've had a lot of people look down on me and talk trash, thinking their HS diploma means something.
I'm more successful (both academically and financially) than all of them and have only just begun.
So just keep that in mind. It all boils down to how hard you're willing to work.
