"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.

Recently I've had a wicked pain in my left elbow and I'm not sure what it is. It especially bothers me when I try to lift something. Like yesterday I tried to take a jar of pasta sauce off the shelf and dropped it because of the pain. It feels like there is a blade between the bone & the tendon, trying to pry it off.

Is this "Tennis Elbow"???:confused: What should I do besides ice it down and put it in an Ace bandage?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Go see a doctor. Seriously, no one here is qualified to give you advice on something serious like that.

There should be a forum rule against this.

Yes, see a Doc. It sounds like tennis elbow/tendonitis or something similar but it's impossible to diagnose through a computer screen. My recommendation is that you see a Doc who specializes in the area that you want to get back to.

Example:

1. If all you want to do if be able to go through everyday normal movements without pain, most likely any Orthopedic Doc would be fine.

2. If you're looking to be pain free in everyday life, AND get back to doing some physical activity (weight lifting, or some other rec. sport), I'd see an Orthopedic Doc who specializes in sports related injuries and will be able to take an approach with you that will get you back to being active PAIN FREE.

Good luck.
