"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.

This subject is abit controversial and Id like those with experience and great wisdom to answer. Ive seen a few posters such as Vulpine and Fransico ( you guys really KNOW what you talking about, so if you could respond here, Id like your input) as for the others, Im sure there are plenty who know plenty too, please, please... respond.

Situation:

Father:

Age: 50's
Situation: Living alone with his mother

Mother:
Age: 50's
Situation: Living alone with her mother

Reason for breaking it off: Fighting and conflict

Total: 1996 seperated, married for 11 years.. so they got married in 1985 and seperated in 1996, the year is now 2007 as we all know.

Both parents have NOT remarried. And both are still SINGLE.

They have a DAUGHTER who currently lives with the MOTHER.

I have this feeling speaking to the daughter that the father still loves the mom. Words such as "the way he acts." and "the things he says."

---> Those things tell me that their is a possibility the father may want the mother back or should I say the husband and wife? Anyway, whats your take on this?

I know its NOT my place to know, but they will JUST die WANDERING if something isnt done about it... I was thinking should I speak to the father or the mother and find out their feelings or should I let nature take its course and let them die wandering because I KNOW they wont speak to eachother about it due to AFC characteristics in the MALE and obviously the FEMALE is never the aggressor in most cases.

I believe.
 

"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.

I knew Id get answers like that, hence I said "I know its NOT my place."

So, as a PUA/DJ should one not spread their influence of what one knows and try help? Whats the point of living if you cant help others? Hey Wyldfire:>

They are adults...and if they want to be together they will get together. Sometimes you can love a person and not want to be with them. Just because someone implies they think the father still loves the mother it doesn't mean the mother loves him or wants him. If there were not reasons why they split up in the first place then they would be together. Aside from the points I've just made...when you interfere in things like this it tends to bite you in the ass. Just leave it be is my advice.

Okay fair point lady:p

So, I have a question you have over 8 thousand posts, you must have some ideas's even if you are female.

What If I were a qualified pyschologist?

a) Is it okay to approach them about it?
OR
b) Is it only OKAY to get involved once SOMEONE comes to YOU for the HELP?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

It's only okay to offer advice if the father or the mother comes to you and asks for help. If it's anyone other than one of those two people then it's NOT okay to offer unsolicited advice. It wouldn't matter whether you were a psychologist or not...you only offer help to those who ask for help for themselves...period.

It's not about a marriage. There is no marriage...they are divorced.
 

"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.

If there's anything the last 6 years have taught me, it's that you can give them tips until you're blue in the face. If they're not looking for good, useful advice, anything you tell them will go in one ear and out the other.

Most people are afraid of change; changing what they do, where they are, and what they believe. They won't change unless change is forced upon them.

Also, both parties need genuine interest in each other for a relationship to work. If it's only the male who's interested in fixing things up with the female, the relationship will not work.

And what will happen to you if something isn't done? What would it mean to you if you could turn help them turn things around?

Hopefully any qualified pyschologist would not be seeking advice on this forum.
