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.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
If you don't want her sexually then why is having her friendship so important. Particularly when you know she will be heartbroken. I think you want her to be a friend becuase deep down you feel bad for letting her go.Originally posted by trippychip

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Hmm maybe your right, but i think its deeper then that. I dont just feel sorry but i like her as a person. She has all these ideas and i like to talk to her, but the sexual is not there anymore. I do see your point though, im jus hoping there might be some way to have both my cake and eat it too.Originally posted by Royal-tiger

Stop feeling sorry and start living your life. You can't minimize how people feel/get hurt in relationships. Do her a favor by being honest. She will move on and find someone who loves her truly.
There isn't. Welcome to life and deal with it!Originally posted by trippychip
