"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.

Would you take this deal?

A friend of mine told me a story about a bet one of his friends made awhile back. Apparently, before the beginning of the 2007 NFL season, this guy put a fairly sizable bet on the New England Patriots to go 19-0 and win the Super Bowl. I don't know how much he put down, but the pay out was $6 million at the end.

A few days before the Super Bowl, the casino called him and offered him $3 million to settle the bet.

Obviously, hindsight is 20/20, but that was an upset of epic proportions. Do you think you would have settled?
 

"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.

of course. anybody can win, he was extremely lucky to get the 18-0 record

nothing is a sure thing, especially when one team is taking on the very next best team in the country

I'm not sure if it was part of the offer, but if it were a winning stock trade, a typical strategy is to close out half and let the other half ride. I would have counter-offered the casino that I'd accept 1.5 mil now and three more if the Pats won.
