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 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.
I wouldn't have text that last zinger.Deleted her from social media and then sent one last text that I thought I deserved better than a ghosting. Bye.
No contact day 1 boys
Happy to hear that, and also I agree with resilent, your last text should have been something actually "good", like just telling her how you feel and telling her that you need time. But it doesn't matter at all, time to enjoy life and be happy again.Deleted her from social media and then sent one last text that I thought I deserved better than a ghosting. Bye.

No. That is definately wrong. His also Text should at least no been a Text at all. There was no Need to Text her anything. It just Shows her, you care and she still has a grip an you.Happy to hear that, and also I agree with resilent, your last text should have been something actually "good", like just telling her how you feel and telling her that you need time.

Hey Mr Addiction thank you for the video man.. really appreciate this...@soulforge
Watch this and other vids of this guy. Somebody posted a Link to one of his vids here and i watched many of his and it Helped me tremendous. You know we have or had kind a similar Situation getting over the Ex.
He Talks about the addiction to the x because of the permanant highs and lows. She was the poison and offered the cure for that same poison in one person. She made you suffer and then was there to be your nurse. I can not find that special vid - but they are all worth watching.
Watch his vids. He knows about this shyt.
I think you tried everything that was in your hands to get her back, but the NC rule is not about getting her back or not, it's about you being fine. I'm not in position to tell you that since probably i'm ****ing up more than you, but you have to think about yourself and let her go.
If she really loves you she will come back to you after you're done with the no contact, and i'm sure that without the pain you're feeling now you will be able to talk with her better, and decide if you really want to try or not to be with her if there is any possibility.
Best regards,
Uh oh... She is baiting you to validate her... Don't fall for it. As hard as it is, block her instead and thank yourself 2 months down the road...ex texts me "im not ghosting you"
thats it.. nothing else in the text.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
and why should you care? You are done with her. Move along.ex texts me "im not ghosting you"
thats it.. nothing else in the text.
I know how you feel. It happened to me. Move along. Find other girls. Don't fixate on your ex.1 Day NC - It's not really my first day, since I've been not talking to her or answering shortly since around 1 week ago, so far she messaged me everyday. But yesterday she didn't say a word.
I guess she replaced my attention with another guy's, kinda feels bad and sad that she took such little time to replace me, but so far I feel OK. I guess after all I deserve better than a person that can replace you in 1 week or just wants attention.
"what's important? I've moved on"Broke 43 days of NC
Want her back!
I need some advice asap guys.. My gf left me 50 days ago, and ignored my texts after that and even blocked me. So I've gone no contact for 43 days. I want her back though...
So when I saw that she has unblocked me on Facebook, I wrote to her today... Actually I was just going to see if she would respond..... Since she totally ignored me for some days before I stopped contacting her and going NC.
I said
"Hey there *name*"
And then 1h later I sent "there's something important, can we take a walk on Monday 16:00?"
Me trying to say something that she's too curious to ignore. But it was not smart enough hahah
4h later she said "what's important? I've moved on"
How do I go from here? I only said that to see if she would respond lol... Now I'm stuck.
Idk, I think I am overthinking it.. But why would she unblock in 1st place and then later respond , if she "moved on"?
I'm thinking about letting some time pass before responding, to make her more curious and hopefully maybe she says something more.. If not, I was thinking about covering up the lie with something like "that's not what I meant. It's something important that I can't take on text"
Help a lost bro out lol
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
She said she had moved on, which means whatever you thought was important might not be important to her any more. She probably unblocked you because she had moved on therefore no longer had the need to have you blocked.4h later she said "what's important? I've moved on"

If I were the girl and I had not moved on and still wanted to get back together, I would have accepted your invitation to take a walk, but instead, she told you she had moved on and tried to get you to tell her what was important in text so she didn't need to go out with you again.But now that I already put myself in this situation, I want to do my best for last attempt.
What would you do in this situation?
Say if you absolutely HAD to get this girl back, say u would win $1B.
I know you'll say "I would move on" but let's skip that advice for a minute![]()
Thanks matetext
^^^This.If you want to talk to her, call her and tell her that and have a time and location in mind. No more texts.
If you are overly anxious thinking about this, then you are not in a position to dominate her in the face to face.
Were I you, I would give it 60 days of NC, and I would block her during this time. What will happen when you block her is you will allow yourself to focus on you and improve yourself.
She said she feels lost. Only you can decide if she's worth suffering for, but it will cause you real pain if you hang on with this girl.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
