"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.

Its that time of the year were we make a few new years resolutions and we tend to break them around March.

haha anyway.

what do you have planned for the countdown? Since its my first New years eve in my new apartment I think im going ot have a bunch of people over.

That way you save $$ on drinks. no need to wait in lineups for a drink. and trying to find a cab is virtually impossible downtown.

So if anyone if got too drunk ive got 2 comfy sofas and a quenn size bed just in case any ladies decide i will be there new years f*ck.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE PLANNED??
 

"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.

I never understood why people wait an entire year before they make resolutions; they're selling themselves short.

I personally have monthly resolutions, and I use New Year's to reflect on what progress I made in the last year, and speculate what I will achieve this year.

Tony Robbins' "Personal Power" program helps guide me through the NLP process and keeps me on track, I listen to it about every quarter.

And I personally believe that setting up resolutions for the ENTIRE YEAR is setting yourself up to fail, since most people fail rather quickly and lose hope.

I'm excited, playing out at my first New Year's show. Going to be great, my band get's the "midnight slot" . Play for an hour and a half and get done at 12:15 so we can party there the rest of the night.

We aren't getting paid as much as I know we should be but we're going to have a blast.
 

"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.

Not too sure yet. Might be going to an awesome local rock gig in my city, but a bunch of my friends want to head down to Manhattan or Brooklyn and party down there. I think I might just go with the first option to save some money. I know if I'm drunk in NYC I'll wind up spending a ton of money lol.

No plans yet. As always, maybe a dinner with my god sister and her parents, but that's a boring. I've got new friends maybe something with them. 29th a chick is coming from Moscow, we chatting on Russian POF, maybe there something, maybe not. It's 2012, gotta meet it with a bang, 2nd I'm going to Arab Emirates for 8 days.

Russian POF. Never heard of it. Vkontakte, face, and bigmir. But not POF. Russian speaking world that lives in the CIS/Baltic states use totally different platforms. POF is for immigrant types that should be totally avoided. Nice story though. POF for Moscow would only be hookers for Western tourists. BTW, Russians find it almost impossible to travel to the West, unless they have lots of money. Visa requirements are s---t.

Westerners are clueless about the CIS/Baltic states.
 

"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.

Gonna go to a party, find some b*tches, bring one or two home, bang said b*tches, kick them out of my home around 4, and sleep. Not the most original plan but New Years eve is on a saturday and I'll have sunday football and another corp free day on monday so keeping it simple and lite is what I'm all about.

Russian POF does not exist.

Planning on going to Praag this year or next year, depending on what my brother does...
