"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.

It's better than being the guy that hasn't asked them out and is stuck in the friend zone.
You think so? Let me be more specific, let's say your faculty at the university. I really think reputation matters a lot
 

"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.

I think it's better to know where you stand. Find out quickly and then move on, rather than spending a lot of time being tentative. If you're uncertain, you'll end up behaving differently and people will pick up on it which could be even worse for your reputation.

leave her alone.

Respond to her texts only.

The more common your presence is, the less value it has.
Yes.

A girl I knew from school texted me yesterday after 5 months (we used to text quite often when the pandemic started but I just stopped) asking how I was and it's been a long time.

I told her I'm fine asked how she was too. Then I asked her out when school resumes(January). She said yes. I guess I'll hit her up around then unless she texts me again
