"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.
What are your best opening messages on dating sites/apps?

"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.

I prefer to scan their profile for ideas to banter with, but if their profile is sparse I have a few favorite canned lines... "What's a dude have to do to get on your drunk dial list?". "Trying to figure out if you are going to be the nice girl on my naughty list or the naughty girl on my nice list." Got that one off a member on here. "I've been reading your profile for the past 30 seconds trying to come up with the perfect pick up line, that would have you throwing your panties at me and I have to say, this is the hardest I've ever worked for a woman before." If they don't respond, I like to throw out... "Ya know, I think we would make the perfect couple. Me doing all the talking and you just sitting there looking pretty." I drunk texted the first four bars of "Slob on my knob" by 3-6 Mafia on time and ended up hanging out, so you never know. I usually say whatever I want, short of being a d!ck. If nothing else, I get a kick out of their reaction.

If a profile says she has Brown eyes and I might open with something about that, like this "They say the eyes are the window into the soul. And I see that yours are brown so you must just be 'full of it'! ( emoji with toung out). "
