"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.

How do I know whether just friendly or something more; Girl placed her head on my shoulder

"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.

...she even invited me to her apartment once during one of said hang outs, but nothing has ever happened.
A few other random thoughts. (Will get to the above point in #2.)

1. While a female friend might jokingly put her head on your shoulder for a second, I would say that any chick that keeps her head on your shoulder for any decent length of time is definitely attracted to you.

2. When at her apartment, I would also consider how close she sits to you. Let's say you sitting on the couch for any reason, say watching tv or playing a video game or whatever. For a chick that is very interested in you, there will generally be no space between you too. In other words, your sides (or legs or whatever) will be in contact. If she keeps a foot or more away while seated (pre-Covid crap) , that points more towards friendzone.
