"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 am supposed to meet this chick off of match in about a half hour and I am in a really crappy mood about stuff today. I don't really feel like meeting her and probably wouldn't be much fun today. I think she may be fat anyway, she seems almost too into me and she doesn't have any body pics. I just don't feel like meeting her for dinner. Do any of you get like this, or is is it just me? Then I have tentative coffee dates lined up all week and I cannot keep track of all the women I am supposed to call. This is getting in the way of things I need to get done and I really don't feel like meeting them at the moment. None of them are exactly supermodels, they are okay looking, most of them are a bit older or single moms. Basically I got into taking what I can get from that service, but for the most part the really hot, desirable women there seem to be out of my reach. A few may exchange a couple emails but then disappear.

I am mostly in a crappy mood because I quit my job to pursue my photography and that isn't doing too well. My print and stock sales have been slower than previous months even though it is coming on to Christmas season. Then to add insult to injury the wedding I had planned to shoot next week, which I would have made $1800, has been canceled. That is a major blow, yeah, my parents may have money but I feel like a complete loser compared to my dad right now. I don't think chicks deserve to be caught up in my problems. Well, time to get ready for the date I don't feel like going on.

I went on a date like that recently. I was in a crappy mood, very stressed after a long week at work, and couldn't give a damn about the girl having fun. I actually wanted to piss her off to make it a bad date. Yet she was all over me. Silly woman.

I wouldn't say "have fun", but go for the experience. It might make a good story afterwards. :D

I was in a lethargic, "who cares about anything" kind of existential mood before a date recently . .

The texts and calls have stopped.

Oh well, just a temporary setback. Relax. We all have our whole lives ahead of us. No need to get myopic about girls (the most fickle things in the universe). There'll always be more.
 

"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.
