"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.

Fellow DJs, I've been going out with a girl, 29 years old, for the past 3 months. She's essentially laid out the 'where is the relationship going' thing on me. Basically, she wants things to be more serious; leading to marriage for sure. As for myself, I really don't know, and I told her that. Suffice it to say, much pain ensued, and I feel terrible. I don't know why; but I just don't want to change anything in my life and told her so. Any advice, any ideas? I haven't felt this bad in a while.

Thank you,
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Wait another three months. It takes a good six months with a person to realize both logically and emotionally whether it's worth putting more effort into a real LTR.

Your GF sounds like a used car salesman, "if you don't buy right now, someone else will pick her up quicker than a heartbeat." Well, if she is truthfully into you, she would be willing to wait a little while longer until you are ready. Understand that you can't keep her waiting forever though.

slow down........

004,

Tell her to slow down.

Try these:

"I need to get to know you better."

"I am not ready to get married, yet."

I'm guessing her biological clock is ticking. She wants some commitment before her looks go for 5hit, and have some kids before menopause hits.

Do what's right for you. If you're not ready for all that, then tell her that. If she starts getting on your nerves about the subject, get out of the relationship.
