"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 would you handle this (**** test maybe)

I was texting a girl I had gone on a date with recently. I asked her what mischief she was up to that day. Then she replied she slept most of the day.

From there a playful convo starts, I tell her I'm coming for some sleep lessons. She plays along and there's a bit of banter.

Then there's a small brain joke that leads to this.

'Omo daada' means good boy/child. Basically, its what a parent or someone superior would say

How did i handle this? What would you have done instead? 20201004_161328.jpg
 

"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.

You must cater to her imagination, if she wants you to be something you dont want to be, remain neutral, a bit of resistance is fine, but do not let her imagination run dry, if she wants you to be a lil' sub, negotiate with her.

She said Baby followed by a thumbs up.
Don’t overthink it. I see it as positive.
Oh, maybe I was overthinking.
But I didn't overreact, right? Cos I didn't reply her msg after that
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Slight overreaction about her I’m the boss line. She probably just testing boundaries and you should have followed it with a joke…
Your fired followed by no reply sounds like
a mini-dump

Hmm.

I wouldn't worry too much. She seems playful.

Next time just play along with it (or ignore/reframe as a poster above said). There's a lot you can do with "good boy."

One thing about being the boss is you don't always have to throw your weight around. Always think of her as a little girl and you're like her daddy, amused at the silly little things she says and patting her on the head.
I get it now. Too bad I ended the interaction by my action. I guess I'll hit her up later.

I'm wondering what could be done with good boy, lol.

I'm not a bossy person actually. But I get the point now, just to keep it all playful

Good plan. Keep it playful like Sam said and throw in a situational or sexual joke or two and you’ll be good.
 

"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.
