"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
1) She's a self proclaimed drama queen
2) She's a flake
3) She treats the waiter like crap
4) She has a bad relationship with her family
5) She expects to be treated like a princess
6) She says all her exes are jerks
7) She's not flexible
8) She guilts you for spending time with friends
9) You argue all the time
10) You can't stand her friends
11) She's violent
12) You don't share core values or life goals
13) She's stingy with appreciation
14) She never apologizes

Single mom with multiples womb turds.
"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.

This is brilliant, why is this not being pushed to newer members of this forum??
To add another:
The amount of time shes been besties with her best friend. I know alot of BPD who change best friends after 1-2 years, coz they end up fighting with their previous friends.

As has been said repeatedly on this site. They all have issues, it's just a matter of finding one you can tolerate. If you want on with that doesn't have at least some of what's listed, get a s3x robot...

You bring up a good point. If she's unable to maintain a friendship between her friends, then what makes you think she's able to maintain a relationship with you?
