"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.

Possibly.. Yeah thats right, I get drunk and have unprotected sex.:rockon:

Well I've been with my girlfriend for a year and a half now.. we've had our ups and downs. But this time gentlemen, I think I've done it..

Shes been late on her period for a week and a half now.. and shes gonna take a test tomorrow to find out.

Wish me luck boys! :woo:
 

"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.

I must be getting old, because I am actually happy for you. Before the fear-mongers take over your thread, let me say that most babies are not planned. I wasn't. My dad was your age when he had me. I doubt he was thrilled at the time, but now he gets a free lawyer and I doubt he would have it any other way. Also, a guy I knew in high school knocked up the head cheerleader when they were 15 and 16. He's now a cpa living in a giant lakefront house with his still-hot wife. Tenn pregnancy is not the end of the world.

Congrats bro...just make sure this is the right decision for you...make sure you are emotionally and financially ready and responsible enough for a child, thats a fvck load of responsibility and work, you are still just 19.
 

"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.

Good luck and I hope everything works out with you and your gf. What do you and her think of the possibility of having a child together?

Good luck, I hope it all works out for you. How does your girlfriend feel about it btw?

Having kids when you are younger is not the worst experience. My mother had 4 kids by the time she was 24, she was young enough to work it all off and now she is 40 with her youngest at 16. She looks fantastic, she has gone through bringing her children up and is still young enough to go out and have a good time.

So, congrats :)

Congratulations bro. It sounds like it's with someone you like and know well. I was giving a lecture on this the other day to class and telling them how I might be interested in having a kid, or none at all would be cool too.

Sorry, but having a kid while you are still a kid is NOT a good idea, depite the sugar-coating here.

It is just not a good idea... forget your plans, be ready for life in a cubicle.

You had to hear it from somebody....

Had many pregnancy scares here. Keep us posted and best wishes either way!
 

"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.

19 out of 20 scares never pan out. An unnecessary thread.

Alright im back on.. she took the test and...
















Shes not pregnant! I was kinda hoping she would be buts its alright, as many of you said im too young too have one.. but than again I wouldn't mind being a daddy! Shes a great gal and indeed I do love her. We both agreed it'd be better if it were in a year or so to get that goin on.

I thought it would be awesome. She was skeptical about it, mainly scared about what her parents would say.

why dont' you two get married first and sort out your life

set up your life, get a career going, a mortgage

go on a couple of nice overseas trips

then have a baby

you both are still very young

i know what you're feeling. i would love nothign more than to have a baby with my girlfriend too, we both love each other very much

but our lives just aren't in order yet
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Thank you for your realist view. Despite all the heavily biased opinion, no one wants to knock up a girl between the ages of 17-23...ish. My friend is having a kid...cause his b*tch stopped taking birth control and didnt tell him. Girls WILL trap your ass as a means of staying together...one must adore the illogical nature of the female species.
