"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.

Progress halted by obstacles(please help)

Hey guys...I really need advice on these situations since they coincide with each other (this could also help me transition into becoming a dj,but if I only knew how to overcome them)

Well I feel like i've been losing my friends for the past several months now, I personally would consider myself a very loyal and sincere person but I feel like I value my friends more than they value me. I just feel like the "guy thats just there" in the group.I feel overlooked sometimes; my friends sometimes my best friends will have get-togethers or birthday parties, and im not even offered an invitation to come.and honestly it hurts.

Also im in quite a predicament right now,i've been stuck in my house for most of the summer(also to be noted I can't really go freely because I don't have a car/don't even have my permit yet because of a family situation). My mother is very protective of me(I know some will say that she is only looking out for my best interests)but it just burns me up inside that I can't even have some freedom and grow as a person. This might hinder my realationship with my friends.

If anybodys been in this situation please lend some advice;it would be greatly appreciated. This year will be my senior yr. and I want it to be memorable.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
