"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 need a muse!

I need some ideas on what to write about.

Could be a scene, plot, or setting.



As I write my story -- after i decide what to write it on, I will post excepts of it as I go along.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

No. I love to write (and orate). Its for fun with a purpose -- to practice thereby improving my writing.
 

"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.

Have you ever read the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy?

Just write about the universe. It doesn't have to make any sense, mostly because the universe doesn't make sense.

Write about whatever crosses your mind. The stranger and funnier the better.

The epic tale of an emo kid who, day by day, tries to get laid to no success. He writes poems, buys flowers, and draws hearts with soap on their cars, and they just won't take him. One day he goes to jail for indecent exposer from his chick pants being too small, and gets raped. He then starts a relationship with "peaches" from prison. They become an "item."
 

"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.

Read authors like Homer, Plato, Dante, Milton, Emerson and such. Theyre very good philosophical writers, you may find them boring but be open minded.

I'm reading the Da Vinci Code. If you like philosophy then you would love this book.
