"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.

Is it okay to tell your girlfriend you're jealous whenever she talks about her male friend?
Im not sure if jealousy can be seen as a sign of weakness.... or can it be interpreted as masculine dominance?
 

"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.

Hrmmm, not quite lugsy; I don't think you quite get the concept of DJ yet.

When you mention 'masculine dominance' by being jealous its quite contradictory to what should be done.

I think by exposing yourself and ******dly saying that you are jealous would make you seem MORE weak not dominant because it shows that you are:

1. Effected by her greatly which makes you at her mercy
2. Shows you are not in control of the situation (meaning, you cant control your emotions)
3. Shows you are insecure.

I guess those three are the only ones I can think of atm.

I will come back later and post some more.

Never say that you are jealous. But if she is spending a lot of time with him, then I think it's okay to tell her that you have a problem with it.
