"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.

Hey fellas, I’m back on the boards after nearly 3 years… I hit a rut about 5 weeks ago when my gf of almost 3 years dumped me for another guy. This isn’t a “how to get my ex back” thread. I just wanted to throw a thank you out to sosuave.com, and all you guys. After searching through all the break-up and heartbreak threads on this site (mostly in the mature man forum), I’ve managed to make a lot of sense out of my little bump in the road. Thanks to all the older fellas for sharing your experiences and advice with everyone. I know it helped me quite a bit and I’m very glad to have learned what I know now at such a young age.

When she dumped me, I walked away and haven’t talked to her since (cheers joekerr :up: ). I started hitting the gym again and have been feeling pretty good lately. I’m starting to get my **** back together and I’m slowly starting to get over her. I’m starting to get used to being single again. Anyways it’s been a while since I’ve posted here so I wanted to just throw myself out there.

Thanks for listening guys
 

"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.

Glad to hear you're on the up and up man. Just remember that a lot of us have been through the same ****. Looking back on all my relationships (ones in which I've ended it and ones in which she has ended it) I don't regret breaking up with any of my Ex's. You're doing the right thing by taking time to get back on your feet. The worst thing to do is ignore your emotions and tell yourself that you aren't in pain. Pain is the first step to freedom and freedom from relying on women is where you want to be at this point in your life.

You're 19 and you still have many great years left in you. I'm 21 and regret all the time I spent in stupid relationships with women who aren't worth my time. But the most important thing is that we learned this lesson early on in life. I feel bad for the suckers out there who are in their 30s and married to women who cheat on them all the time, because they don't have a sense of well being. See, it's men like you and I who will be well versed in how women work by the time we are even thinking about marriage down the road. Best of luck.
