"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 have been with my current GF for about a year now. We live together now and get along great. Sex is fantastic and she treats me well.

The only problem is that I never see her. She works in real estate and is at the office at least 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week. Her company treats her like crap, and she is terribly underpaid, but she believes she can't find anything better. A typical work day for her is to work an extra 2 hours and then have drinks with her work buddies for another hour or so. This leads me to the following conclusions...

1. She does not believe in herself.
2. She enjoys getting treated poorly.
3. Spending time with me is not very important.
4. She may be cheating on me. (Unlikely, but I would be blind to not consider it)

Ever since I found this forum, I have done my best not to be needy or overly sensitive, but this sh!t is affecting me bigtime. We have had numerous discussions about this, but nothing is changing.

If I do leave her, I will be forced to live with my parents for a while, so that's a bummer. But I don't think I can continue like this.

Please tell me, am I being utterly stupid?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I think you need to start exploring some other options. Do it carefully. Somewhat quietly. Start focusing on yourself a little bit. Now is the prefect time to take up those swing dance lessons you always wanted to try.

She will either sense this distance, and respond, or she will not. If not it means you are increasingly losing her interest or have lost it.

The nice thing about this is that it both deals with the problem with her (her lack of attention) and deals with the problem with you (your lack of other options).

Go out. Get around.

Stop discussing this issue. Sounds like you've talked it to death. Start doing something.

how old are you?

If you are unhappy, i would just take the highroad and move the hell out. I wouldnt even tell her, id just be gone in 60 seconds. I would do this if this has been going on for awhile.
 

"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.
