It’s Sunday morning and you’ve been staring at your phone for hours, feeling powerless, as you wait for last night’s dreamboat to text you. This time, consider the following reasons for sending the first text….
1. Once you text him or her, you can focus on other things, like doing the laundry you promised your roommate you would do last month.
2. Your cutie will totally respect your ability to go after what you want—and if he/she doesn’t, it wouldn’t have been worth it anyway.
3. Because if Ted Mosby had the chutzpah to do it, you do too.
4. Because asking your friends for the seventeenth time, “Why hasn’t my hot little slice texted me?” is getting old.
5. Asking your sister is getting old, too.
6. Because f*ck gender norms.
7. Once you text last night’s conquest, you’ll feel empowered, and if you’re empowered, you won’t regret it tomorrow.
8. Like Rosie, you can do it!
9. And, unlike Karen, your cutie (probably) doesn’t have ESPN. The only way you can be sure your lil’ sex kitten is thinking about you is if you take control of this situation.
10. Because hormones. Go get ‘em, Tiger!
