"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.

Yea so I’m blazed af right now because I haven’t smoked in about a week because I’m trying to quit and clear my head (smoked everyday with limited breaks since high school) but my dumbazz gave in to the peer pressure and smoked the most beautiful blunt my buddies that live below us rolled and now it’s like I have blue pills circulating in my brain. I’m done after this!

Simple question I should be able to answer myself but my brains going a million miles a minute.

Do I simply ignore or continue the convo?

If I ignore will that seem butthurt?

But if I continue it seems beta?

IDK

Me: Come out with me Saturday night in (x-town)

Her: Saturday I’m going boating :) lol otherwise I would

Me: That’s cool, have fun!

Her: Yes I’m pretty excited!! What are you doing in (x-town)??

I have done everything under the sun with this girl besides fvck due to unfortunate logistics.
 

"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.

"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.
