"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.

Hi!

Instead of some stupid intro, let's just get to the case.

I've been in a LTR for over 3 years. Things went really good, untill I started my interns (medical student). I live over a 100 miles from where my gf lives. It never used to be a problem, since I had a lot of free time (in which I had to study, but I could do that at her home just as easy).
So now I'm almost 24/7 in my college-town, where I have really long days. In this town I have some friends, but most of my friends (all my good friends) live in my home-town (where my gf lives too).

This situation makes that the relationship is going cr@ppier by the minute. At a certain point we hit rock bottom and discussed everything that was wrong in the relationship. She tries to be a better person ever since that conversation (well, more of 7 sessions in a weeks time). I however don't really feel that connected to her. Also...and this is fvcked up, I met a friend last week (when she was out of the country) and I started to get feelings for her. I know 99% sure that she doesn't. There are a couple of friends who know this and they all understand how I feel, but don't ever see this (friend+me) happen. Which kind of saddens me (not really what you call an ego-boost).

I do still have feelings for my gf, but I'm really in a doubt.
The sh!tty part is that I'm so busy with my study that I simply don't have time (well, sometimes once ever 3 weekends 1 day). The things I see and do are pretty heavy and it's really nice to know that there is someone who knows you and to whom you can talk. So I don't want to lose my gf (I'm not afraid of her breaking up with me, she won't;)).
On the other hand I would really just like to know if I can get that other girl to like me. Nothing even has to happen. I guess it's more of a "told you I can do it" to friends.
This girl knows I'm in a relationship, we hardly ever talk and she's not into me.

Questions:
-How do I get this girl to like me (I don't mind a long term project. It's not about getting my low self esteem higher, since there are other girls that do like me, I just want to get this one to like me:p)
-What do you think about this situation? (Apart from all the above, I love my study, but I feel imprisoned at the same time);
-Any other people who are living in a different town than their friends and have a hard time getting social? (maybe even other interns?)
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Well, let me make it easier:

How do you get a girl that knows you're in a relationship and is virtually the opposite in everything and isn't interested in you to like you?

1. You can't get this girl you want. Give up.

2. Break up with your girlfriend. LTR's don't work unless you're ready to get married, which you're obviously not if you're having problems.

3. Enjoy the single life. You're in college FFS.
