"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 give up on myself

Lately I was going to a chiropractor, cute girl, liked to talk (well part of her job of course but nonetheless). She asked basic stuff like what do you do, how was your weekend,...

My answers respectively were my job and "good". Nothing more. Sometimes I asked how was your weekend but it was with this intonation of just asking her because I wanted to be a mystery and try to let her talk more about herself.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to seduce her, I just tried it for practice, but it was so artificial. My questions were stupid, I couldn't ask follow up questions,...

Honestly I give up. I tried and I tried, nothing gets better. Yes never give up, but sometimes you just can't anymore.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Lmao...please...

This chick was at work, in a work setting where it's not exactly conducive to carrying on a conversation. Did you ask her out? Or just try and talk your way into her pants?? That never works btw.

If you want to go on a date then ask her.

Agreed.

Thanks OP, I needed a good laugh today.

I didn't wanted to ask her out. I tried to take this as a learning experience, to try to improve my social skills, but it didn't work. I am like this in any setting.

Yeah, give up. Are you sure you'll be able to though? Seems you've been giving up a lot, but still continue.

I think you'll fail even at giving up.
 

"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.
