"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.

Had a rough relationship with highs and lows. ok looking chinese girl, love together for 2 years, i have a bit of a substance abuse problem. she signed the lease of a new place a month before she left and didnt tell me.

When she seemed indifferent and distant more and more, stopped complaining, i began supplicating.i was started off pretty alpha. When she became distant i began to supplicate more, do little favors all the time to try and make her feel better. It felt like she stopped behaving like a girlfriend, but i kept behaving like a boyfriend.

this so slowly pushed me into a depression( Or I let it), i had asked what was wrong twice. I would get mad somtimes. I got more and more insecure, and it felt like she got more secure.

the last week she acted real sad, and cut off. We lived togther for two years. I ended up quiting my job during this time, I was so stressed didnt know what to do. she respected me a lot for like the first 1 2/3. everything went down hill fast the last 1/3. something were m fault I drank to much and smoked to much pot, i also put less money into the relationship. I promised her i would go to college so we could have a life and family.

When she left I had no friends, I was drinking a lot, i stopped about a week before she left. When she left she moved into a house with a couple other girls, so she had a social circle right away, we spent most our time togather.

I went soft, stuck in a relationship grave yard, never really got to know to many people in Cincinnati except work friends. I chased for like 2 months. She ignored me a lot, kept in touch for a bit, came over an sucked my **** once and left right away. She told me at one point on skype about a party, the next day she said she made out with some senior from notre dame. I started to drink all the time, every day, no job. I broke.

prior to the break up i was addicted to benzos, on antiderpessants. The relationship had a lot of pressure, i went to these extents, the wrong way though. I was so caught up in the relationship i lost myself.

Shes not even that good lookings, shes educated well, studies finance, nice body, but face isnt the best, its not horrible either. She was always kind of nice and polite, she used to look up to me so so so much. I went from alpha traits, to jerk, back and forth on those and eventually afc started to peak its ugly face, and it consumed.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I feel like she would play mind games a lot also, when she got mad usually she would give me the silent treatment, rarely would she say what shes mad about. So somtimes i think i didnt notice if she was giving the silent treatment.

OP, edit your post into small paragraphs and people will read it.

It was rare for her to get mad, its was a cultural thing i think, she would give me the silent treatment, and i would get mad sometimes.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

There's not a lot to say here. She checked out of the relationship long before she signed that lease. I'm sure you know that.

You've got to get a handle on the booze drugs. She lost respect for you because you demonstrated a lack of respect for yourself.

I always advise men to avoid living with a woman. It's a play marriage and statistics show that couple who lived together prior to marriage are way more prone to divorce than those who have not. I have also observed that living with a woman tends to amplify and accelerate the inner AFC's re-emergence.

Charge it to the game and get yourself back into life. I just realized that instead of breaking your OP into paragraphs you re-wrote a small portion.

You need to get your life on track. Read "The Magic Story", internalize it and apply it to your life:

Thanks man. I think the benzos and anti depressants, i went off them right before, got on a different one, and i was drinking like a 5th a day over christmas, the substance abuse has prolonged my pain, it wasnt me at all. Its been 7 months. Yup i think thats messed up also. I chased right away, and never even gave her a chance to come back and stroke her ego, i kept trying. i feel so disgusted with myself.

I was in school for electrical engineering, I was doing well for a while. I feel like the pressure of the relationship took a toll on this respect. Well today i got some side work, im bouncing at a bar. my brother works there, I think ill get free drinks all day. Lot of women. my life has got better, i have a place back home, a job. Ive quite the drugs, a few brushes with booz, but i keep in to a minimum. my plan is to get back into school, and save money, and constantly look for a better job. But i still have no completely shaken this **** yet, i feel like im so close, yet the pain lingers.
