"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.

I have a buddy who has oneitis.

I showed him the definition, but he insists that he "keeps her in the back of his mind". He talks about her quite often, and it does get rather annoying, but he's stopped talking about her as much because he realizes that it's annoying.

I want him to join this forum and start posting so you guys can help him, but he's a bit... lazy.

I'm here with him now and I'll read to him what you guys say, maybe one of you can say something profund enough to get him to sign up.
 

"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.

People should commit themselves to improving their own lives, this is not the task of anyone else.

If your friend wants to stay in a Disney movie forever then let him.
