"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.

"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.
Thanks cool dude. Move along.New2Town said:
I have plenty of stories already, but I'm always looking for others to have up my sleeve to be able to introduce in different situations. It's something I'm good at, so I'd like to maximize this skill by seeing other stories and using them as a framework and/or reminders of my own.
Now if anybody has anything like this, please let me know...
If you have so many stories, then why look for others? You can't create stories and then have people ask about them later and forget about what you said. It's easier to tell the truth than it is to lie.fea8899 said:
Here's a template for your stories...
Last _______ (insert day), I went to ________ (insert place). When I was there, _________________ (insert funny thing that happened) and I was __________ (insert emotion).
It's not a template I'm looking for. It's reading other peoples' stories that will trigger memories in my own life that I can spin in a humorous way. Take a look at the thread above with Mystery's new video about his niece...it just reminded me of some funny experience I had with my little cousin that I can now use in the field.New2Town said:
Stop wasting energy trying to undermine me and just be a help if you can. If not, just ignore this thread. For your own sake homey.

These books ought to give you a good start.
If you want a specific exercise (which you will have to do for about 15 minutes a day for a 2-3 weeks AT LEAST) that you can do which will increase by ALOT the neuron connections in your brain, such that you can pretty much link ANYTHING in anybody's story to pretty much ANYTHING else in your history, other peoples stories, anything else., PM me.
You want to also check out something called "Nested Loops". They can be powerful as well.
"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.

ANYTHING can trigger old memories thoughfea8899 said:
just go look at some old photos. or when you're talking to the girl, feed off what she says and let it remind you of something similar that happened to you
