Have a life...
"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 you guys deal with loneliness?

I agree with what PK said earlier, if you take the time to pursue passions, hobbies, plates, whatever.... you won't have time to sit at home wondering what the hell you should be doing with all your free time. Be about something. Volunteer. Support a cause. Visit family, call a friend or two. Hang out at a sports bar watching your favorite sport. Mine's American football, so I get together with my buddies and bust on them for kicking their @sses in our fantasy football league.

Man I miss reading fiction books, must continue
"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.

Why do you need someone else to have a fulfilling life? You can be alone without being lonely.
The problem is you equate your self worth and happiness with other's validation and acceptance rather than it coming from within.
