"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.

Well.. my gf told me some somewhat devastating news today.
First let's start about her when she' drinks, well when she drinks she tells me she can't control herself and she doesn't remember what usually happens.
Well today, she told me about what happened to her last christmas, way before we started the relationship.
She told me she was at a party and she got really drunk, passed out, and evidently i guess it would be considered rape.
I don't know what to feel.. because it's in the past it shouldn't matter, but i'm more concerned if anything. I'm really really confused right now too.
 

"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.

I did, and now she's all depressed and worried about me leaving her. I guess I don't know how i should be feeling when i heard news like that, at least she's honest, right?

Yeah i did, she doesn't seem to like bringing it up too much, she seemed really distant when talking about it. I wouldn't doubt that when it happened to her she was devastated. I just dont know how to handle this, I can't really comfort her very well on this topic either.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

now you shut up about it, don't say a word more about it and carry on life as normal.

It's a trust building process.

Just...eventually, tell her something about you.

agree with docs but also remember.,..your supposed to be the man in the relationship....it either bothers you enough to dump her...or it doesnt bother you at all... ltr's are a constant power struggle and you MUST remain on top if you wanna keep her
