Nothing packs on lean muscle mass as well as a bad break up.
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.

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
You've already received good advice on how to deal with your anger/pain, hopefully it helps. I'd say it's not a good thing though to bury that hurt deep in your mind and let it be "dormant" as you put it. That's just asking for it to surface someday, perhaps in a future relationship. Seeing these events in your life as an experience instead of memories that conjure up terrible emotions - that's a healthier perspective.Originally posted by yendor28
Chatting to some of my DJ friends and we all agree that there are guys out there who can seduce virtually anyone, if only for a night.
It happens a lot. Now I know what you say about the girl which I fully understand but I still feel the guys like that are also the problem.
I am not alone either in that in the past men would literally die for fighting for a woman.
I wonder where that has gone
*sidenote: I also find that girls love 2 guys fighting for them so perhaps create the situation?

From what you just posted about fighting for a woman, I get the impression that you long for this time. This was a different point in human history. Back before there was casual sex and people got bored easily. Back before the club scene and divorce court. Back when people's emotions carried the day. There was no real mass media or feminism, etc. I've harboured a lot of anger in the past from my AFC days, much of it from dealings with women, but one day I realized that much of my anger was sustained by hanging on to a mental model of the world that just doesn't exist anymore. When I truly accepted things the way they are, instead of the way I wanted them to be, all of a sudden it didn't hurt to think of my previous experiences anymore. That's when I took the red pill, and all aspects of my life changed.
Yendor, I'm not pretending to know what's going on in your mind, but your post I quoted seemed to indicate to me that you're hanging on to an impossible ideal, which might be why it's so challenging for you to think about your experience with this particular girl. Hope this was helpful in some way.
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.
