"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.

So my girlfriend and I have officially been in a relationship for a year. We celebrated last weekend, it was all good but...

Her friends and her mom are (in a kind of half joke half truth kind of way) asking where´s the ring. I just ignored but in retrospective, I could´ve have said something smooth or handled it different. What would you do or how would you have handled it?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"Where's the ring?"

"Don't know. She hasn't bought me one yet."

Id just laugh it off and if asked seriously i'd explain that a year is too short a time to know someone.

The year is a milestone in relationships, after that first year things tend to change. Two years maybe... One year? no way.

I agree a year is too soon. Keep beating that pvssy up and enjoy it. Slap anyone that tells you to go spend a ton of money on a rock,

Good post :D I wouldn't by a ring until at least 2-3-4 years down the road. Then again, I'm in no rush to get married either :rolleyes:
