"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.

Sup guys.....

I haven't been here in a while but I have some relationship issues right now....I met this girl and we're in a really good relationship and have been for a couple months. I basically would like to stay in the relationship and im pretty sure she does also......

So here's the problem: she's always been totally honest to me and so she told me about her ex b4 me.
Look for Pook's posts, learn ********

So anyways......she told me that right now he wants to see her again and visit her and sh1t and that he still loves her--- I cant be there to watch her because of finals and work........How can I deal with this dude not interfering with our relationship, short of kicking his ass...

Thanks in advance

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Women say “stop being insecure” to keep you from pointing out the insulting, disrespectful things they do to harm the relationship. Remember: this isn’t a matter of your need for her, it’s a matter of her respect for you.

The key is to tell her what she’s doing wrong without phrasing it as a Demand or Ultimatum. When she says, “I’m going to have coffee with so and so, and he’ll show me some sights around town,” say, “You shouldn’t date other people when you have a boyfriend.”

She might try to argue, “it’s not a date.” “Great, then I can go with you guys, right?” “Um, er, . . . no, blah blah.” “So you need to be alone, so it’s a date, so you should break up with me 1st.”

Just calmly explain to her what you need: which is respect! If you can’t get it from her, you’ll get it somewhere else.

You say this to her:

"Babe, I can't stop you from seeing him... if you're gonna do it, you're gonna do it, but know this; If this was just two old friends getting together to play "catch up", I would think that you would want me to be around to meet someone you spent alot of time with, in your past so that we could be introduced... but since this isn't the case, I'll let you decide what's best for us and in the mean time, I'll decide what's best for me. If you respect me, you'll decline his offer to meet... and if you don't then I'll go find someone who does."
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
