"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.

I'm a serious guy and hardly ever smile and I know this is holding me back. But I have to make a conscious effort to smile and that makes me feel self-conscious and uncomfortable and it feels like my smile muscles just aren't that strong. Other people just seem to go through life with a permanent smile on their face and I am envious of that and want to learn how to do that.

Are there any exercises you can do to strengthen your smile? Or is it just a case of consciously forcing yourself to smile as much as possible until it becomes automatic?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

so when someone smiles at you...you don't smile back?
You just give them a serious stare?

Do what you must to get a smile on, it'll show that you have a fun personality and will attract people towards you.
After you shower or brush your teeth just smile to yourself in the mirror.
Some people I know force themselves to smile and it looks funny. Just see what looks good and natural.

:cool:

Smiling is VERY VERY IMPORTANT. I had a GOOD friend that would never smile. He was the nicest person i met, used to drive one girl to work every day for free. He was always easy to talk to but every one would tell me that he looks like a killer. He was always serious and the only time he would smile is when you make a really really funny joke. Girls were scared of him until they got to know him.
