"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 bad days where you are just tired, uninterested, and not into life? do you just absorb the loss or try to turn it around? hOW???
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"nothing is good or bad, thinking makes it so" -shakespeare
what you perceive, and what you can perceive are two different things

what went wrong?
bad grade? make up for it next time and each time after
nothing interseting happen? why not it's your life go explore the world
girl problems? why, women are fun..go enjoy
death? it's ok to mourn..but don't mourn forever

the answer to all of these...
Everything changes. Nothing matters.
i can explain further if you like..but that basically summarizes it

Listen to that "cause you had a bad day" song and wine about how bad your day was hahaha.

Seriously, we all get them - I just try to make the best of it. Just because I got a failed an important test and I see a hot girl, I'm not going to talk to her because I got a bad grade - **** no! Besides, your day is never as bad as it seems.

If i'm being honest, when I have a bad day I actually look to religion. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but looking to God really helps me out sometimes. I've had mental breakdowns before, and numerous other things, but everytime God puts me back on track. yeah, this is metaphysical, but a positive mindset, and knowing that someone is looking out for you really helps.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

It's completely acceptable to have a bad day sometimes. There is no need to hide it or fake happiness. Control yourself, don't start b*tching at everyone, but realize that nobody is perfect.
