"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.
2 years and nothing...

"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.

If anything, it sounds like over time she's put your ba11s in a vice, and you were dumb enough to let her. She's giving you a 5hit test, practicing her control over you to see if you give in.
There's nothing you can say. You can't make a woman happy 100% of the time. Sounds to me like you've spoiled the 5hit out of her, she got used to it, and now she makes demands of you. The more you try to keep your woman happy, the more difficult it's going to be to please her. It's a never ending climb up a ladder. If you focussed on making yourself happy instead of her, you'd be much better off.
Now, for your most recent post...
Simple. She doesn't have any feelings for you. You've become another toss-away typical borefriend. Your relationship has come to an end. Prepare to pay her child support. How old is the kid? Are you sure it's yours?
