My point is you ask then and there when you first met them, or in person in another encounter. This is the best path to success.
The longer you take to get the number and the more indirect you get it, even if it’s through friends, the harder uphill battle you have.
If you really like the person, have some confidence and go up and ask them. I don’t even think they should DM, but at least it’s more ballsy than going through friends like in high school.
He had a pretty great life because he followed the philosophy of unattachment.
It wasn’t until Anna Kendrick got into his head about becoming serious with the woman that he was seeing did shit go off the wheels for him when he started realizing what he didn’t have vs what he did.
Interestingly enough unattachment and not being materialistic is a powerful philosophy in most of the world’s major religions in achieving happiness…
It’s fairly easy to strike up a conversation with anyone; them being your Uber driver doesn’t change that, and that’s the mindset you need to have. Talk to them, anyone really, as if they’re your friends and be at ease like you’ve known them for years, and ask them different questions and show interest.
It’s a better lifestyle than being a misanthropic prick toward everyone just for garner traffic on a millennial yuppie website.
The first FIVE paragraphs are very personal attacks at Chip, Jo, their parenting style, and their kids’ names…
I can understand an article about how the show is stupid and you hate their designs, but I’m honestly surprised PGP thought this was ok to publish. Kinda thought you guys were chill and better than this.
You’re being strung along until they find someone better or settle for you. If you’re ok with this then proceed.
If you’re not and want more, tell them that’s not going to work for you and then walk away without burning the bridge, and then let them miss you and let them come back to you (could take months or never happen). Or if you’re like Dave, hit them up again months down the road.
I mean, yeah you should feel duped. What did you honestly expect to happen? Waco would be perfect mainstreet USA and the Gains would have dinner with you and y’all would be instant lifelong pals?
Your plan and trip sounds a little impulsive on your part without a ton of thought or prior research.
In that movie, there were a few relationships that didn’t work out if I recall.
The main girl did get with Justin Long after she made her feelings known and then totally moved on and cut herself out of his life, which made Justin Long miss her…
Rom coms have a lot of bad messages, but if you are able to ignore the nonsense and silliness, there are some solid take away lessons that are hidden.

Always took you for a cat person.

Because getting the number through a friend shows you didn’t have the courage to ask them yourself in person, whereas DM you were bold.
Personally I’d say get the number in person when you first meet- that is the least creepy move and best to set you up for success.

I guess you just have to have the personality for it then.
Basically own it and don’t be a wimp about it. The confidence and nonchalance you show might actually work in your favor.

It’s a ballsy move that’s for sure…
Had the chicken biscuit and sunrise (ice cream oj) at chick fil a three other day and it was glorious. Was surprised honestly by how good it was.
Dude, she made fun of their kids… Did you even read the article? You sure you want to side with her?

Dave, I hope you read this.

Annie, you did the absolutely right thing, something I’ve been saying on here for awhile, you walked away completely.
You gave this guy the gift of missing you and develop feelings. Good job!

Before you call, make sure you’ve had a few drinks too, you’ll need that liquid confidence and women love confidence.
They all secretly, but not so secretly, hate each other.
She’s probably hot and Todd is stupid.
Rest of your life is a lot longer than 3 years…
