"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 need to, but its hard"

ummmm.... its only as hard as you make it.

running a marathon is hard. working two jobs is hard. having cancer is hard.

breaking up? its not technically 'hard'. for some people its very easy because they have the right attitude.

breaking up is only as hard as you make it. any pain and suffering you experience is purely the result of internal thoughts you have and cognitive dissonance occuring in your own mind with regards to the situation.

part of being mature is putting things in their proper perspective. 16 year old kids lose it when they break up - 'ohhh no the world is over. the sky is falling. ill never love again.' blah blah blah.

when you get older hopefully you've learned to distinquish between what truly is hard and unfortunate, and what is merely an inconvenience.

my advice to you is to MOVE ON. why in the world would you want to be with a woman who has already shown you that she will cheat on you?

'fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" - when she screws you over you'll have no one to blame this time but yourself.
 

"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.
