"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.

"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.

Sounds good on paper but when the world is full of enemies that want to exterminate (KILL) you, the point of life becomes the preservation of life. That means making sure you have a lot of great big, expensive, bad-ass guns and are willing to use them. I'm speaking of nations here.btownbuck2012 said:
We could and should all do more to feed the poor, but to take all our defense funds and feed the poor with them pretty much guarantees that we won't be around next year to feed them.

Played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place... Dogged as many girls as I could while I was stuck in this place. "

To share my faith with those who are interested, and to be gracious and non-offensive to those who are not.
Secondly, to try to leave the world a little bit of a better place for my having been here.
"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.

The point I'm trying to make here is that, often there are those who have all the material success, but end up not seeing any point in it. For example my brother is a successful doctor but he is afraid of death and appears to have no underlying belief system other than materialism. And then there are those who find meaning in life but struggle to be successful. It's funny how it works out like that.
