"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.

Trouble with kino

Hello all,

I'm working at a summer camp and there's this amazingly hot girl there. We've already been introduced, and as fate would have it, we're even in the same traveling group!

I've been doing a little C&F, being positive and manly (when we go to the beach- it's suns out guns out with my group of guys), etc, etc. The next step is kino. I understand kino, and it has worked wonders for me.

But since we're working at a summer camp, we're surrounded by kids from start til finish. It's not that I mind, I'm pretty good with kids. It's just that I get no real opportunities for kino. (If you ever worked at a camp with elementary kids, you know what I mean). We're dragged from the slides to wallball, there's really no time for solid interaction with her. Most of the time we spend talking is us talking from other sides of the rooms, trying to coordinate the kids. I do kino when I can, but compared to past experiences, it just feels like it's not enough.

Any advice?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

errr...no.

It's not a band camp. It's just a regular summer camp for kids in elementary school. No musical instruments whatsoever.

No musical instruments at all sounds like a **** camp lol.

Just get it when you can, your only one man. Nothing you can do
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Analyzeit- Thanks. I"ll just try my best, and if it doesn't work out- big whoop. And the camp is kinda cool. We go to movies, an amusement park, an aquarium, the beach, etc. I don't get what the big deal is about music/instruments/band all of the sudden.
