"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've thought about this a while dating my gf, and I'd like to hear some comments.

What do you do when you simply do not enjoy the company of your gf's social circle?

I'm not advert to them, but whenever I hang out with these people, it sucks because they are boring as hell.

Her female friends are just typical lame girls with no real unique character sparks, and some of the guy friends she has are just plain annoying.

I usually just avoid this friend group but want to know your opinions on this.
 

"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.

Do NOT let them hate you. Polite smile, keep your mouth shut, if you have to. I may have made that mistake in my last LTR, where her gf's thought I was a jerk.

Something else is going on here.

There has to be *something* good about these people. I think you should find out what that is and learn to enjoy it. In the long run if you two stay together, eventually all her friends will get with people and start to get busy with their own lives anyway.

In the meantime just try to find the good in these people, think of them as smoozing practice. If they cross a certain line, then maybe some other action is required?

And if the annoying is intentional, that means they know you are going to get the girl and they hate that. The guys will sometimes be annoying hoping and wishing you have a weak frame and will crumble and run away so they will have *one last chance* to spread their genetic seed, so don't fall for that. Guys who can actually get girls *annoy* these men just because of jealousy and the level of desperation many men feel. Things like this are a good sign, to make matters even better don't be shaken by it but smile knowing you are on the right path.
