"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.

Normal to feel like this?

So I've been seeing this girl for almost 3 months. We're not bf/gf yet. It was her birthday this past weekend so I surprised her with a 'birthday cake with 'Frozen' plates and (her favorite animated movie). That was 3 days ago and I already miss her. I even sent her a text saying that I missed her.

Is it normal to miss someone that you've just seen only a few days before? Especially if they're not someone you've known for a long time?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Never tell them you miss them. Thats a turnoff. They want to imagine you are out slaying dragons or leading a rebel army.. not sitting with a teddy bear thinking of them. Thats what they are suppose to do. You need to distance yourself from her until you get control over your feelings about her ...

No it not normal.

I agree with @cola never say you miss her, or only say it indirectly.

For example:
She is in vacation and sends you a selfie of her new dress
you anwer: "Nice dress. can't wait to see you without it"

Be careful, you sounds very attached, it wont end good. when she come back don't do anything too special and don't look too exited, you need to make up for your neediness.
