"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.

Some of you may know what Tabula Rasa translates to, but for those of you who don't it means Blank Slate. I have this is my signature as it is my guiding thought everyday.

Tabula Rasa, wake up with this thought everymorning, it does not matter what happened yesterday today is a blank slate. You may have made mistakes yesterday, you may have made good decisions, anything could have happened, you do not erase your memories because you need them to learn from. However, you have to wake up everyday and write the story as you go along, starting with things you HAVE to remember, dates you have set, tests, assignments that are due to come up, if you are working out today, if it is a friends birthday, and the list goes on. However from there on you have to feel the day out, immediatly assess the moods of the people around you, because the way someone acted yesterday could change completly the next day, always strive to learn more about a person so it becomes easier to deal with them. Using Tabula Rasa will help you to become more spontaneous each day, wake up and say to yourself "today I am going to: kiss a girl, approach a girl, make a new friends, etc" all these little details will go far as it will help you set goals for each day.

The concept is simple, just start each new day refreshed and don't spend your day rehashing days past, or predicting days to come, live in the now.

"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.

"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.
