"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.

Out of curiosity, do you guys ever drink wine?

If so, what kind do you get?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Franzia, the "wine in a box" company, makes a sangia that I really like. $12 US for a 5L box. Lower alcohol than other wines, but not as headache inducing, either.

I always cook with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food…
Usually a high quality white zin.
 

"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 like my wine white. Red generally gives me heartburn.

But on the same topic, brewing your own wine can be fun. I've got fruit trees in my yard, and I've been dying to try making booze straight from apples and grapes.

I drink mostly white wine, preferably Chardonnay grapes and preferably Chablis, but others work too. I occasionally drink red wine too, I really like Australian Shiraz wines.

I drink wine maybe 40% of the times I drink, if not it's mostly craft beers. I usually don't drink what everyone else is drinking.

I'm okay with white wine, red wine for me is an instant headache in a bottle.

Was more a suds and shots guy. I don't drink much if any these days.

I drink locally made wine, it's $3 for 1.5 liters. Anything at a store is either cheap trash from which you get a headache or heartburn, or the good stuff is really expensive, but then again good stuff compared to local home made wine is trash, even if it's from France or Italy.

I make wine myself from my own grapes, but I don't get a lot of it, just 35 liters.

I don't get the whole wine culture, when you pay a whole sht load of money for a bottle which is less than a liter. Of course women are into wine, it's glamour.

I love it. As much as I can, I try to pair it with the food. If you do your homework before dinner with a chick you can come off looking like you "know" wine which can be an indicator of high(er) value and a way to help seal the deal. Also, a good cabernet with steak is fan-effing-tastic. Check out a book called: "What to drink with what you eat". It breaks down different wines to pair with food based on what either what wine you have or what food you are going to eat.

I love some wine. Usually Cab or Merlot. Can do many brands.
