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.

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Thanks.@Randolph I read your initial post again with fresh new eyes this morning, specifically the first paragraph, and not sure where my head was yesterday, but agree with others that she does sound like a huge PITA.
I'm not just saying that because I was harshly criticized, I really do mean it.
I think I was overly focused on the second paragraph wherein she complained that all you wanted was sex (my interpretation) and she felt objectified and undervalued even though I acknowledged the way she presented her complaint was bytchy and demanding.
Anyway, apologies and I really think you deserve better.
EDIT: I'm curious, why did you break up with her and why did you go back?
Generally speaking, it's never wise to get back with an ex.
Good luck though whatever you decide to do.
Kind of agree here. Never been fully denied, just had some resistance which I have pushed trough. Feels wierd but like you are alluding to, not acceptable to be denied sex.I disagree. NOT receiving sex on your terms is beta and entering her frame. If you want sex, she should give it to you willingly and with no issues; sans period, sick, etc. Ever hear of dead bedrooms? No sex = beta and weak.
He shouldnt have LTR her again. She´s an ex. OP broke one of the Iron Rules.
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.
To her? I was not aiming to gain anything in partical tbh except for her to understand why my behavior has been of base lately and that I've identified the problem and am doing something about it. I mean she has not told me that I'm acting wierd but she sure has noticed. And I think it's a normal thing to talk about it if in a relationship, just mention "hey I have been feeling like sh*t for the last couple of weeks/months because of this and now I know why, this is how Im going to change it".What were you aiming to gain mentioning the use of PEDs?
Yea, figured something like that. I have scheduled to get my bloodwork done.I use PEDs too, what are you using tren? Have yu checked your E2 levels and progesterone? Those can cause libido and anxiety issues.
“First off, I don’t lecture.”First off I don't "lecture," I express an opinion as you and everyone else does.
Secondly, and I mean no disrespect when saying this, but don't blame your wife because you were a simp with no backbone and she lost respect for you, and behaved as such.
That's on you man, not her.
Thirdly, since you decided to finally grow a pair and act like a man, you're chosen course of action is to "put her in her place," essentially bully her.
Sorry that is NOT a man acting from his masculine frame, it's a bully. And advice I hope the OP does NOT follow..
Better advice imo would be to choose women wisely from the getgo.
DON'T choose a woman for a LTR who you feel you need to "put in her place" and bully to get your needs met, including sexual needs, that is not the way to go. It will create a very unhealthy and toxic dynamic between you.
OP, during these early stages, observe, observe, observe. If what you observe is not to your standards or liking, no need to call her out, put her in her place or bully.
Just dump her for goodness sake and look for a better woman. Or keep her as a casual plate.
For a LTR, choose with your head as well as your d*ick.
Both are necessary and required in order to choose wisely and the best woman for you.
May I ask why you broke up the first time? And how it was you got back together?
Context is important.
If they push back and then give in, then you pull away again, which drives them crazy. I do it so often. I just say, I lost interest.Kind of agree here. Never been fully denied, just had some resistance which I have pushed trough. Feels wierd but like you are alluding to, not acceptable to be denied sex.
