"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.

Valentines day break up

I've been dating my girlfriend about 10 months. About 2 months ago, she started to become slightly controlling, and she has ramped it up since then, especially in the last 3-4 weeks. She is also becoming angry, and a find myself not talking much to avoid her anger, and then she gets mad at me for not talking! It's ridiculous! She also used to worship me, but now its like she hates me and I'm awful and she's pulling away. But then randomly she'll go back to worshiping me and get really clingy on top of it.

I realized today that shes not going to turn back into who she was before, because she has shown her true colors and this is who she is. I need to break up with her, but its really near valentines day. What should I do? She says she's so excited for v-day and got me a nice gift, and its obvious she expects one too.

Should I break up tomorrow, or on v-day, or right after? Or should I wait a few weeks? And if I should break up in a few weeks, should I get a present, or no? :rock:

Thanks!
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

If you're really going to break up, why wait? Just do it.

Who cares what day it is on Sunday?

I swear if I see another "Because it's Valentine's Day" post related to ANYTHING, whether it's dating, asking someone out, or breaking up, I'm going to make unicorns an extinct species.

It just sounds to me that you are hovering right now just to see what the "nice gift" is. And if you girlfriend has been more controlling as of late, it's because YOU have allowed her to do so, and being quiet did NOT help that at all. You are a man, you were supposed to put your foot down and say: HEY, STOP THIS.

But no, you just sat by idly and let her take control... not for a few hours, few days, weeks, but for MONTHS now?

If you don't want to be with her anymore, DON'T WAIT. No gift is worth hanging around a little bit longer.
 

"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.

There is no good time to break up with someone.

You're just making excuses. Do it.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
So you're asking us if you should make personal life decisions based on the sales schedule of the Hallmark corporation?

So did you break up with her? Or did you realize that the Hallmark Corporation is more important to you?
