i have a date tomorrow. should i be texting her a reminder or on the actual day? i think she's working during the day until like one hour before our date.
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.
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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

They should be too busy with thoughts of what naughty pleasures you're going to provide them to ever forget.
****y and over confident? Dude,all you did was ask a question.HappyHarryHardon said:are you sure that girls (even the nice ones) don't think that line is a little too... ****y and over confident?
And I bet you these same girls who complain about these so-called "****y guys" end up sleeping with/dating them.HappyHarryHardon said:i've seen some girls say they hate things like that. guys trying to be too ****y.
Then simply don't say it.HappyHarryHardon said:i might be wrong. also it just doesn't feel like something i would ever say lol. i usually just use kino to show my affection. theres no guarantee she would like that comment is there? she might suddenly think im a **** for saying that.
Well whatever you do,DON'T AGREE to getting into a relationship with her. If you do simply because of her telling you she wanted a relationship,you'll remove all challenge.HappyHarryHardon said:by the way, she did tell me she wants a relationship when we first met. she's looking for a man to settle with so we are trying to see what happens between us. starting tomorrow night.

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.
