"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.

Do not wish for quick results, nor look for small advantages.
If you seek quick results, you will not reach the ultimate
goal. If you are led astray by small advantages, you will
never accomplish great things.



I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I
understand.



When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you
do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is
knowledge.



It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not
stop.


Men's natures are alike, it is their habits that carry them far
apart.



What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man
seeks is in others.


Have no friends not equal to yourself.

Just a few things in my readings that stood out as applied to being a DJ and to life.

Nice effort, Warrior.
Not sure that it will be well received here though.
But it's good to see someone want have higher standards,and reach greater things, AND....want the same for his fellow brothers.

Nice change of pace around here, Warrior. Keep it up.
Thanks.

Your right, probably not enough boy scouts. lol j/k I just wanted to use that word following a post of yours Interceptor.

I don't see why it wouldn't be well received here though, when your similar posts usually are. Maybe it would be more apt in the tips section.

Hey guys. Thanks. I've been in a contemplative mood lately. I'm looking at my life critically, and I know I need to do better. These things stood out to me. Maybe I should have posted this in the tips section.
 

"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.
