"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 got a great girl. Period. I would say damn near perfect relationship wise. Either that or we just get along very well.

We're comming up on our 1 year anniversary, but Valentine's Day is comming up.

I want to do something nice for her. I want to take her someplace romantic, all that good shit. Like I said, I want to do something great for her because she deserves it. I've been jobless, doing side acting projects and looking for other jobs and I have been just plain broke.

I started a new job and I don't get paid until the 16th of February. Yeah. So I'll be BROKE totally until then.

My question is, what can I do romantically? I mean I will have enough money to drive around. But resturants and movies are out.

I'm sad, I know.

So any other suggestions?
 

"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.

Why not just work for a temp agency for a day or so on your off day, get like 70 bucks, and take her out?
