"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"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.

I use them to make sure the girl knows I'm joking. If you're making fun of her, you have to let her know that's tongue in cheek. Sometimes if there's just plain text, she might misunderstand.

I've noticed smileys can play a tremendous role, whether you want to believe it or not. I use them when I'm joking as Lexington said to make it obvious that I'm just being playful, or when I'm saying something cute to her. All other times I am usually pretty serious and end everything with periods and proper grammar. I've learned that sometimes girls will TRY to get a smiley out of you. It's how you reward her and let her know she is doing good. Use it in the same principle as affection. When she is being good use them, if she is being boring then don't. Of course, you shouldn't over analyze everything. But with texts you can be a lot more strategic because you aren't bound with a time limit. I will sometimes edit a text 3 times before I send it, just to make sure I get the right point across.

as long as they are spaced and dont become superfluous.

1 every 3 texts is a good rule, and defs dont write lol unless absolutely necessary. She's not funny and its obnoxious to laugh out loud on your own jokes.
 

"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 just call, and avoid worrying about this.

Smileys are always beta.

The only time it is acceptable to use them, is if your intentionally trying to sound beta.
