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.
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.

I can't let her get away with this. I feel compelled to say something.
I want to vomit. I'm a wreck.
Why so insulting? I know I have inner game problems. This is my first girlfriend ever. Can you not be a little more understanding? I'm not trying to reconcile anything. Aren't you guys reading my post?Actually, your whole situation makes me want to vomit.
All I can say is this: "Run for your life!"
You're a lamb being led to slaughter and this can only turn out ugly.
It's time to work on yourself or your masochism will kill you.
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.
I hear you dude. And I knew about the single mother thing. I made a mistake. I admit this. I am not trying to salvage anything from this relationship.Danger said:1. Do not get involved with a single mother....or single mother to be.
2. Here was your clue right here (below).
As I said before, you will not stop her from getting away with this. All you can do is stop her from taking value away from your life.
Leave her to suffer the consequences of her actions.
I do have oneitis for her, this is true. this was my first girlfriend ever and I lost my virginity to her.logic1 said:No, what your really saying is you have oneitis for her. You still care. Your in a fog. Your infatuated. In your mind this is the only women in the world.
This is about you. There is nothing you can do to save her. You need to suck it up and bow out. It will be hard but you will never regret it.
Do yourself a favor and completely vanish from this mess. Never look back. You deserve better.
Seeking "justice' in situations like this is common but foolish.Obliteraga said:I do have oneitis for her, this is true. this was my first girlfriend ever and I lost my virginity to her.
That said, I have no plans to reconcile with her. The only thing left is to sort out the injustice of this other guy getting screwed by marrying someone whose child he may not even be the father of, not to mention she's a cheating skank.
I'm torn on this. and it hurts a lot, not gonna lie. I feel physically ill.
He is being shipped home in 2 months. I can't guarantee anything, my now ex-gf doesn't know where i live but she may possibly remember the name of the street, I don't know. she knows what I drive.jophil28 said:When is he being shipped home ? Do you live in the same town as he does ?
Can you guarantee your physical safety if he comes home?
Do you have his phone #?
IF you do, why not just point him to this thread via an anonymous text.
Frankly,I agree with the other guys. Walk away in silence and let things take their natural course between them . IF she has revealed her background and other unsavory personal information to you, you can bet that she will play the same mind games with him.
Learn your lesson, become better at filtering women before you get with them, and take note of all the warnings here about single mothers.
Young women do not just get pregnant by accident or bad luck. Every women knows how tNOT to get pregnant, so a young pregnant woman is "that way " by choice.
The rape story is as old as the hills... it's BS.

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Obviously - so if you value your life just run for the hills before some lover kills you for good.Obliteraga said:I'm a mmess
