"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.

She's using you for attention - do you?

The decision is ultimately urs.

Do you make it a habit to give without any returns?

Even monks offering prayers requests "donations"...
I don't . I just don't find it useful being an extra helpful friend for someone I want sex with. Shell use you for relationship attention and get dyck from a man who friendzone her .
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

People oftentimes feel being taken advantage off, and to me it's because they allow it to happen or because they aren't skilful in staggering "being helpful".

For instance, if you were to bring me coffee every morning, I'll naturally would expect coffee from you and it must meet the taste that I'm accustomed to. Sometimes I might even gently reprimand you for being late or buying the wrong type.

But if you were to buy me coffee sparingly, on certain occasions, I'd most certainly appreciate it and would thank you graciously.

Does this make sense?

The freeloaders and moochers teach us this lesson.

I wouldn't do extra favors just cause someone is visually attractive .

If we do a few friend things for each other, great.

I wouldn't do it to sniff around and hang around . I'd only do it cause she's generous to me.
