"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 previously wrote the best revenge is to live well thread.

So today I'm helping my brother out and I walk in the house and check my phone. There is a text from my ex whom I haven't heard from in a long time. The text says," Hi. Hope you're good. I wanted to know where you bought my tires at because I'm going to get them rotated today. This is xxxxx by the way."

Back in the AFC days I would have scrambled to reply.

Today is a whole different game.

You see this broad is a receipt queen. She keeps paperwork from things she bought 10 years ago. I know damn good and well she has the paperwork that she needs. I'm convinced that it's an effort to reel me back in to the fray of things. I'm not saying that it's a ploy to get me back. I'll bet that her Valentine's Day wasn't up to the standard that I had set a long time ago. She's looking for that ego boost and I'm not about to give it to her.

My roommate thinks I should send her a message and tell her to kick rocks. My thinking is that I should just ignore it and let it go. I think any response would feed her and I'm not in the business of pleasing her any more. I have learned a lot here.

Any input from you Gents?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

You've already given her too much thought by posting this thread. Just delete the text and ignore her.

Her text was a pretext. Women reconnect exactly like that, They toss up some innocent looking bait and hope that you bite down on it and tug on the line. They always reconnect for some reason which is to their benefit,

SHe probably has nobody to fawn over her and figures that there may stiil be a couple of dollars left in her 'old account' with you .

Ignore it or you might regret it later.

Dear Rick,
Politely send back the Tyre contact number,(only the decent thing to do),then invite her round for a quickie...straight out,no equivocation,the polarisation in behaviour will really throw her....As one never goes back,it will be a laugh,but there is a certain pleasure in knowing you are the top Dog, and of course another phone number could be handy for the next dry patch.
 

"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.

I agree a little text, got them at Speedy Tire on Fox St.. That is all you write. Says I acknowledge you as a person, shows no emotion, or intent by you to validate her. This way you are saying **** off, I do not care about you without burning a bridge.
