"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.

"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.

place to place.
pakwah i'm starting to figure why your woman left you. did you act this whiney when you were dating this girl. i know being dumped sucks and the holidays is sucky to be single but man. your milking in your sorrow to much. alot of guys in this forum have been where you have been and the answer to your problem isn't sitting around wondering where she is, if shes having fun, etc. you using your son as an excuse to hear and see her. it's like it's become an obsession.

her heart has moved on and it will not return. like i said alot of guys in the forum have sat and waited for the girl of their dreams to return and guess what they never did.

let her go. i know i am sounding harsh but your not really getting it. it's like your waiting for somebody to say stay strong brother, she'll be back. most of the posts you'll see are move on and they will be correct.

Hey insanity...im having a bad time...and 80 percent of the time i am fine. I have friends to help me out, but when its 2am i just look for others to say what i need to hear. Not being whiny, thanks, but everyone has a bad day. I know i will get better, but when i slip, i would like the support of others. Thats all. I don't wait for her to return....I don't give myself that much credit. I don't mean that in a bad way, but i don't believe i was the best she will ever have, so i know her heart will move on. I don't expect to be missed.

Pakwah -- it is going to take a few months to adjust to this loss but the difficult part is to not let your child see any animosity between his/her parents -- discuss things privately for your child's sake!! There will be many arguments to come!!!

Yes, and you were most likely out of character and speaking the truth! :D

That bastard did go on some serious rants!!!
 

"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.
