"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'm just wondering if you guys have any good valentine's day specific openers, routines, etc. I know a lot of the stuff is universal, but I was curious if anyone had any gems for this particular holiday. I searched for some info but all the valentine's day discussion was geared towards what to do for/with women and not about pickup.

In my head I was thinking that there might be more of an air of desperation with girls who go out on the town on Valentine's Day and don't have a man in their lives. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking and they will be out for girls night out instead with the same kind of pack mentality as usual (so game would be the same).

So I ask you: What have been your experiences going out on Valentine's Day?
 

"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.

wow that last comment sounds way too needy, almost like saying do u have a boyfriend. WHo cares, she is alone now and U approached.

I saw cupid tonight and he is trying to hit U witha little love arrow, only U keep dodging him, wondered why that was.

Lol, mine is a natural opener. You sir just used a chat up line that not only lowers your value but makes you seem like every other guy whos ever hit on her in a bar. Its cheesy.

I wouldn't use my line on any other night except valentines because usually if a girl is single around then bringing up that she has no boyfriend lowers her value, makes her self-conscious and chances are she wont want to spend the night alone.
 

"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.
