"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.
First relationship at 21, having some road bumps and could use some insight. (long)

"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.

100% in a relationship. You must always have the ability to walk away. You
can't be in love in four months. Sounds more like infatuation to me. T
In other words: the guys who are the most insecure lose the chick and those
who are not affected by a loss have chicks following them. I don't know you,
but do what makes you happy more often (ex: playing a sport, etc). It sounds
like she likes to see you get jealous. She might be more insecure than you
think she is.
