"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.

"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.

So let me get this straight
Your underage girlfriend got sloppy drunk and was trying to get on another guy. You end up leaving once the guy goes in the "tent" and walk 7 miles just to have to hitch a ride home?
and your in "nirvana"
Can you pass me what you smoking?
Cause honestly mate your g/f was disrespectful and if she wasn't you wouldn't have left

Ya, wtf man. Maybe you need more sleep or something.
You have an underage girlfriend who got mad at you for TALKING TO another girl and tried fvcking some other dude in a port-a-john, until you he-manned her out.
You were just playing a game that you didn't care, when she called your bluff you couldn't stand it. Understandably so, but don't play the game if you aren't going to play all the way.
Then she sleeps with the dude later. I don't want to know what creepy story ensues for you finding out they didn't fvck. Probably laying outside of their tent crying for hours waiting for any sort of noise to charge in.
And walked home because of your broken ego on top of it, 7 miles. Why are you so happy again? Because the girl is texting you being "sorry" now? Interesting.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

There's a saying that is similar in nearly all religions.
We reach nirvana through way of samsara.
You reach christ through suffering.
Its more difficult for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to find heaven.
etc. etc. There's one in every religion.
Anyway it's super true. You reach an ultimate state of happiness through pure and intense suffering, its just the way it is. I missed the original post, but I'm sure this very real suffering experienced by the original poster had the potential to give him a glimpse of the ultimate truth, of enlightenment.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
