"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
If it's any consultation, I did read one time that men are less likely to contract the disease through intercourse than women. Mainly becuase the male organ doesn't easily take in fluids. However, the spread of the disease is rampant in homosexual males and needle additcs because they are "taking in" the disease.
"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.
It's a shame the millions that have died of Aids didn't have a choice.wrender said:And from the stories I hear about that, I'd rather have Aids and die then live with a disease that makes your dyck look like the elephant man
Anyway, don't take HIV lightly. While it's not as common as getting a cold by any means, a cold doesn't kill you does it?
If you're genuinely worried, get tested. If it's just paranoia, take it easy.
It may not have a high contraction rate, and you may not live in disease-ridden africa, but HIV's mortality rate is not something to take lightly.

The only thing you can do now is wait and see. . . while you waiting be responsible and don't have sex at all. It's four month, 3 is a usual incubation period, 1 is to make sure.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

the prevalence of HIV in that part of the world is higher than the US or the UK for example but according to your description your sex was mostly safe anyway. even if it WASN'T .. you have a 1 in 2000 chance of catching the disease for this single exposure IF she had it.
You can have a conclusive HIV test at six weeks (99.9% accurate), no need to wait 3 months. Do this, but try not to lose sleep over it in the meantime.

An HIV negative response at 3months is conclusive and should be the final say. There is no need to put your life on hold and test over and over again.
Unprotected sex and (in certain situaions)fresh blood can transmit HIV. If this scares you, then the solution is to have protected sex which is not a significant risk factor for HIV.

Basically, as long as you sleep with people you trust (unprotected) and use a condom for every other sexual encounter you shouldn't have to worry about HIV. Although going to a massage parlour in a country where HIV is more common isn't really the wisest thing to do, condoms are 100% protective against HIV.
There's a ton of more common STDs that you can catch a lot more easier than HIV.
