"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.

I don’t know what to do in this scenario and would like some input.

Every year since 2016 I’ve gone with my kids, their friends, and my kids mom trick or treating. Her live in bf stayed back and handed out candy.

She now has a baby with him so I know he’ll come along with their new baby. I really don’t want to be around it at all. I love Halloween with my kids but their mom was enough to deal with and now I gotta deal with him and this fake a$& happy make believe.

What would you do?
 

"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.

The door to door candy handout volume will most likely be down this year due to the virus.
It’s a good Out to use for something you shouldn’t be Ex family group doing to start with.
If you still want to do that type of event, arrange for two outings, one for you and your kids and one for them with your kids.

How about you take the kids to a relatively fast trunk or treat if one is available near you, then take them back early enough for them to do their door 2 door minus you, and you step out somewhere else to celebrate a job well done.

Allowing him to build a relationship with them will probably be a good thing, depending on her as a mother.

Plus, any tension situations involving people you have to deal with, better off to leave the tension.

He'll probably be in your shoes soon enough by the sounds of things.

Usually Halloween trick or treating hours are 2-4 hours long. Why don't you just split the hours 2 for you and 2 for her while having a designated meet up.

Why don't you just take your kid and cut more contact than necessary?
 

"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.

Yes that’s what I’m going to do with Halloween. It was like a weight off my shoulders when I told her because of the dread I had going over there.

Why not forever?
This is the only time of the year I had to spend any time over there. I’m def going to miss seeing my kids and they weren’t happy when I told them I wouldn’t be there but this has got to be the way. I literally have no choice.
