"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's your say on couples that break up then get back together?

So the chick I'm going to the formal with goes out with my friend for a month. Then she dumps him. Then a month later she realises she made a mistake and asks him if he wants to start dating again, (today) he said yes.
How long do these sort of relationships last usually? Do you think they'll still be together by the time the formal swings round in 4 months?
I said to my friend, "If you're still dating her by the formal its gunna be really awkward."
Him: "Nah it won't. It'll be fine."
:rolleyes:
Thanks in advance
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

ahh this is kinda the situation that im in at the moment :
this girl that goes on my bus has been dating this guy for like a year, then 2 months ago they broke up and we were getting close, I asked her out and she said she needed more time to get over him then 1 week later they are going back out! I was like o_O but anywho I decided to use some dj moves and just acted c&f around her and woah, she seems to be coming back onto me hehe! But i dont think i'll have any of that; as long as the ex bf is about something can always happen!

On another note, I was so stoked today !!! There has been this girl that i've been interested in, seen her in the library a few times and we've made eye contact, any I asked my mate about her etc. and today I introduced myself and she already knew who I was lol so i'm assuming my mate and friend (female) talked to her about me, but yea was so happy that I was chatting to her! hehe she went all red when I started talking but I didnt mind! And contray to what my mate told me, she is like a part-time gym instructor! and she is also quite smart \ hot ! So i've been browsing the bible threads to see what to talk about \ do when I see her tomorrow!!
Sorry but I just had to tell someone! :cool:

The ONLY reason why you are dumped is because they think they can get someone better (This is true once you start to think about it).

They've realised that:

1) They can't get someone better, or
2) Their ex is better than they first thought (which is really a variation of (1))

So they get back together.

Either way, forget her.

The pool has been pissed in.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Great advice LikeRetSam. Thanks for that.

I read somewhere that going to the Prom with someone who has a BF is really awkward. Is that true? I'm thinking of breaking it off, but everyone thinks I'm just being weird about it all saying,
"You just show up with her, eat, dance. It means nothing. How could that be awkward?"

So do they last or not?

What I wanne know is why isn't your friend going with his girl to the Formal since they're back together. And I personally think going out basically on a date with ur friends girl is weird, but if you're all comfortable with it by all means. But why go with his girl when you can get your on girl to dance with and kiss on?

Heres the story: My friend asked someone else to the formal, then realised he liked my formal date. He's a bit of a DJ and she soon fell for him. Now they are dating, leaving me and his date, weirded out.
No I'm not comfortable with it. I ask my friends if it would be too harsh to cancel, they all say yes. "she would feel sad and lonely. I don't know why you think it would be awkward. you just take her there, dance, eat and leave. " w00t.
In tradition can guys cancel their dates to the prom?

Don't cancel. That really would be an ******* thing to do. No matter how much you don't want to go with your date, just show up with her and leave with someone else. She would be pissed if you didn't go with her but went with soemone else. lol.

Well really you should do whatever you want. I do whatever I want and it seems to be working pretty well so far.

Seems like kind of an a.sshole move that your friend pulled.

Why don't you guys switch dates?
 

"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.

Exactly, switch dates. Canceling on ur current date doesn't really seem like a ***** move including the akward situation. And now that u told us how it became that way it does seem like your friend made a ***** move; come now he made your date his GF. WTF.

Yeah. I've thought about that. But I don't really know his date that well (come to think of it, either does he). So I think it might be even more awkward.
I think I'll wait it out. See if they're still together by the end of the year. If so, I'll decide then on what to do.
Thanks for the help everyone. :cool:
