"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.

I've been dating a single stay at home mom (yeah I know), and though we get along well, I find our conversations um... boring. I like her, but have already moved to sex to fill the lack of conversation...

There's only so much kid-talk you can do. Anyone else encounter this? I try to move the conversation to other topics, but it seems her kids are her entire life. As a single dad, i can respect this to a degree, but really? There's nothing more?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

She's just trying to tell you that you are and will always be number 2. Like poop. Number 2. Not number one. Number 2. Kid comes first, because he came first. If you are laying her, she may get attached and ruin your life. Be careful and God's speed.

Yeah, well the older and more busy you get, your options and the availability of kid-less women diminishes. The ones who are still single without kids have their own set of issues.

****, im a single-dad... I hope there isn't some chic site that rules me out by default.

I don't want children anytime in the near future.

Most women in Atlanta have babies and are 18 & up! Finding a woman without kids is like finding a needle in a needle factory that's gone out of business. All women have issues and a degree of craziness.

Your million dollar question:

How much craziness are you willing to tolerate?
 

"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.
