"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.

So how should one deal with text messaging? If there's a thread on this already, can someone point me in the right direction?

I personally hate text messaging, but all chicks text. Some people tell chicks that they don't have texting enabled on their phone, but that's neither believable nor positive, because you don't want to look like a grandpa and refuse to text, especially to younger chicks...

Some chick flaked on me last week thru a text message and I'm pretty sure that I should just forget about her, but next time I run into her I don't want to seem bitter at her cancelling a date. We'd been having sex for a while, but I think that's irrelevant... actually, not totally irrelevant... I'd like to keep her around if only as a booty call.

And what if you've exchanged a moderate amount of texts with some chicks? How do you phase them out? I hate making plans over texts, even the iPhone pisses me off...
 

"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.
