"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.

You're trying to take everything the girl says, no matter how big or small, and turn it into an excuse to make fun of her. There's a real chance she was trying to find out some of the music perhaps you were interested in... so as to get to know you better. Who knows.
Don't try to "one-up" her all the time. The secret to being ****y is to have the girl actually enjoy the experience.
I agree with dotcom too.
"Yeah, I love some of those classic songs too. We'll talk more next time we get together.... (set up date).
What I didn't know then, that I do now, is that WOMEN SEE RIGHT THROUGH IT. She knows you're being all tough trying to impress her, that you probably just want to sleep with her, but that you're too insecure to hold a real conversation.
Not to be too hard on you, because I was the same way. Now you know better.
"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.

I'm seeing more and more exactly what is meant by emails can't show tone or body language. Those are the things guys typically rely on because they can't convey much more than c/f in an email. "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.
