"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 a few options up my belt, I am working full time, have savings, have a monthly salary, so I can study, do all of these on the side, I am in my mid 30s.

I've got a full time job, however there is no progression, no pay progression, hence I really do need to move on.

Work is work, so I'm not bothered which avenue I go in.

The options are:

-There are some Java, C#, Python, .net, JavaScript jobs without a degree required, a portfolio and skills will suffice or network my way in for a job

-Try to do freelance web development and establish contracts, establish myself

-Develop many complex android, iOS apps and try to get into a contract mobile app developer job, contracting, or network my way into a contract

-Since I don't have a degree, I can get into a masters on Computer Science course performance based admission and upon completion I've counted on the job sites there are loads of graduate programmer, software developer, software engineer, AI, some cloud computing, data science, data engineer jobs available for graduates

-Do a plumbing course, plumbers are well paid here in the UK and there is a possibility for self employment, contracts

-Do an electrician course, again, the pay is good and scope for contracts, self employment

-Or do a masters degree in a different subject, perhaps some subjects allow a performance based admission

-Use my customer service experience to try to move into an office job, I'm thinking of logistics work etc or find an agency that provides office work. Work my way up

"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.

I've been thinking a lot, I may take a plumbing course and then become a sub contractor, then a contractor.

Secure, stable option. The money is good.

I also may still study a masters degree as a hobby.
