"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.

This girl that I just start seeing for a few weeks, yesterday she's showing classic symptoms of PMS (irritating, craving for food,...). So my question is how do you guy handle a girl when you know that she's pmsing, should i just ignore her until she's in a more agreeable mood?

A woman pms-ing is no excuse for her to treat you bad. She's a grown woman. If she knows she's in a bad mood, she simply should stay home and watch tv by herself.

And I'll say that this situation sounds even sadder when you realize that you've only been dating for a few weeks.

Anyway, it's simple. If she's treating you badly during the time you spend together, then don't spend time together. She's not your wife. Call her next week. Or better yet, don't call her at all. You shouldn't have to deal with attitude problems when you've just started dating a girl.

So she's not treating you badly. She just gets acne, and eats more....Like 90% of women on the planet. So if her pms isn't affecting you negatively, why did you start a thread, "The girl I'm dating is pmsing. Help!"??

If you're asking for cures for menstrual symptoms, maybe you should be asking your mom. Otherwise, I think your girl can handle herself.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

PMS is natural, and will happen. It's not a "problem" with your girl.
