"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.

was with some friends and this chump was telling me about his issues he is having with his GF (what is it about me that guys just start splatting about womena bout i dont' know but they do)

anyway, guy was on the phone with his GF....

they have been dating for 2 months now.

he hears the dog barking in the backrground


she says i need to call you back. this was at like 7pm

she never calls back that night






how do you handle this situation?

what do you do..


what.do....you.do
 

"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.

Tough one. I don't think I would next her over just this. I would definitely mark it down as a red flag though, maybe a strike one.
However: The fact that he was already complaining about "issues" with her after only two months makes me thinks she isn't worth the time.

I guess the implication with the dog barking is that someone came to her house and she never got back with him. Some other dude perhaps? A family member? Or maybe she was murdered.

I would just ask her why she never got back with me and give her a chance to explain. If her explanation wasn't good enough, then there's another red flag.
I'm sure some guys here would say pretend not to notice that she didn't call back (It will make you look insecure! Horrors!), but I'd rather call her on it.

Sounds like your friends need a hug.

Feminity like this is too common here. In less ruined cultures men act like men and know not to cry and lose sleep if their girl doesnt fone.

You're right the dog in the background could have belonged to one of the men that came to gangbang his girlfriend in her living room. He should have went over immediately and installed CCTV around her house.
 

"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.
