"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.

I'm going back to college after being gone for summer, and I tell my girlfriend what day I'm coming back. She says she's so happy I'm coming back and that she feels kind of silly saying this but it's felt really hard being apart and that we didn't get 'ready' for this, like we didn't talk about it before we left for summer, but "not that there was anything to prepare." Then says something about how we didn't really check how involved we are.

It was weird, it was like she was searching for some affirmation that we're serious. Or many she wants me to say I love her. I don't really get it. She never brought this stuff up until I told her the day.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

be cool and dont say much about it tbh, if she says she missed you then say i missed you too.

dont go lovey dovey and AFC :(. Sounds like maybe she wants validation, dont give too much to her, keep your cool.

And shes the one that says I love you first. Give a bit less than you recieve.

I recognize this. And I think you already know what's up:
She says she's so happy I'm coming back (= "don't get angry" )
and that she feels kind of silly saying this (= "sorry")
but it's felt really hard being apart (= " but I was horny")
and that we didn't get 'ready' for this,(= " and didn't know if it'd be worth waiting for you")
like we didn't talk about it (= "you never said I couldn't have sex with someone else" )
before we left for summer,
but "not that there was anything to prepare." (= "It' not my fault" )
Then says something about how we didn't really check how involved we are. (= "It's your fault. YOU never warned me I could lose you if I did")

By the way...

Text her the following message: "It's over <insert her name>.", and keep approaching other girls.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

She's just insecure and needs some reinforcing messages that YOU and her are exclusively involved. It's been some time and she's not sure whether you've drifted apart while absent.

Even though it's hard to give interpretation to something this specific, all I can say is it heavily depends on what your girl is like. Seems to me like something a relatively inexperienced, naive girl might say. Or to say it more positively, one that hasn't bought into all the cynical rules of dating (like, don't show your feelings too openly.)

"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.

...those were exactly my thoughts all times I let it slip...

I hope you're right, but my experience begs to differ.
You can always follow up with "Just kidding :)", and she'll have gotten her share of drama for that day.

If she ends it, he can forget all about that FB status you mentioned.
If he dumps HER, he'll still have a foot in the door because she needs the validation.The other guy becomes the BF, and she'll become his FB for the sake of validation.

honeyhitter nail'd it, if that isn't her indirectly saying she 'cheated' on you then idk what does.

that'd be like you going off to war and her saying i didn't KNOW we were THAT serious. take offence because she is implying she isn't INTERESTED
