"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.

Not being harsh, but i have to agree with loveshogun.

She was your ex, and unfortunately, you tried to re-establish an already stale relationship with her, but you only tossed the control back into her hands. She clearly denied you another relationship, and you seem to just ponder and wait like a dog until she decides when/if shes ready. :crackup:

Truth is: I doubt she ever will be...

You should learn to LISTEN and take advice unless you wish to get burned again. I guess the best way to fully learn a lesson is through repetition right lol!? Its only a matter of time until you hear about some new guy in her arsenal. Don't forget to update us when the news drops :crackup:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"Look Dad I fixed the Ferrari after I crashed it!"

"That's great son, how'd you do it?"

"Oh, I just used some duct tape and bailing wire. See? Good as new."

Teenager + asking advice on an online forum and then not listening + crawling back to his ex = you

Pump the brakes, kid. Rollo gives some of the best advice on this board. It would behoove you to listen to him.

Remember - you're the one having the lady trouble. Don't ask for advice and then get mad when people tell you to open your eyes.
 

"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.

Oh wait, your situation is different to everyone elses and your ex is hotter than anyone elses, so you should do the exact opposite of what worked for everyone else.

She's clearly still crazy about you, so withdraw all the money you have and go buy her a ring and some other jewellery. Every time she goes cold, give her a present, then ask if she needs any housework or favours doing. If she tells you she doesn't want to be with you, then give her the ring and propose to her.

Of course, she will say yes because she's still crazy about you and this whole break up stuff was just because she's so in love she is scared of getting hurt.

So go and fight for her!!

(I'm assuming that's what you came to this forum to read, so there you go)

well just to let everyone know that we got back together today. I know I may not have been Don Juan about it, but I did have a lot going for me particulary in the looks section so that is always a help.

I think it does show that if something is worth fighting for then go for it. However, tactics should be used where appropriate and you should try and keep your options open whilst still single as using other girls as pawns is half the battle to getting her interest back.

Don't worry, guys. Some people learn best from experience.

Stay positive, op!
 

"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.
