"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Yes.

We were together for 7 years. She promised everything in the book. I'm yours forever, I will never want to be apart, blah blah blah. Let's just say I am a smart guy, really smart in real life.... and I would have laid down my life and everything I own in a gamble that our relationship would NEVER end until we die of old age. If you think it won't happen to you, haha. I was in your shoes. You are not smarter than I am, or every other smart male that has lived on this planet. Women are -crazy- and emotional. You cannot trust them 100%, ever.

Conclusion : I will never, ever again buy the cow. Only have fun, keep them around and drink milk, but never buy the cow. You don't "own" the woman who you claimed. It's not really "your" territory. At any point in time, out of the blue, she can blindside you and want to break up and leave you.

Current Western dating society does not mix well with evolutionary biology. A man wants his wife to be his, for life, and raise his kids. Well, people divorce and break up all the time in 2012, and it goes in direct contrast to how we evolved. Our biology is accustomed to smaller groups, tribes, where your wife and your family is permanently -yours- and there is no "leaving" and moving somewhere else, or divorcing or breaking up like it's no big deal. You sacrifice everything for a woman you love, and she just breaks your heart and then you are expected to just suck it up, throw those wasted years, those wasted dollar bills, and your broken heart in the trash can and move on.

IMO, modern society and traditional love/marriage don't mix. So I will never, ever again buy the cow. Only drink the milk, have a lot of fun together, be happy, love her in my own little way, but never again falling in love for anyone.

NOW - I am not saying nobody should ever fall in love and get married. On the contrary... if I could go back and time to my teenager years and take the risk again, I would. Only, I'd do it with a different girl, but I would HAVE to try. However, if you get burned that 1st time, your heart never really heals from it, and that is where I am saying "no more falling in love" for me. I already tried, it failed, ok i'm done, now time to have fun and not take them seriously ever again. But if I had never tried? I would try once and hope it works.

I think that if you're the kind of person who can appreciate the simple things in life, like the sunrise, as an incredible thing, then I think you'd have to say that love is an incredible thing.

The problem is that it doesn't always end well. In fact, it usually doesn't, especially these days. Which means you have to appreciate it all the more while it's going well. Kind of like treasure each moment of your life, because you're going to run out of days sooner or later.
