"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.

"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.

why even say anything about it. Its not hiding it, its just not saying it. If the girl asks you if you have had a vasectomy then tell em the truth, but I have never in my life ever had a girl ask me that. So just don't say anything. It is only lowering your SMV if you are blatantly and overtly making a point about it, even if they don't ask. which is kinda weird.

If you are about to get it on and she asks of you have a condom/or hands you one AND you already know you would bare back this chick. Then offer to go without one letting her know that there is no risk of pregnancy.
The other time is of she brings up wanting kids and/or asks you of you want to have kids. Tell her then.
Or if she asks directly, but that rarely happens without some sort of indication.
Otherwise there's no other social reason for it to be discussed, unless you just like putting it out there.
As far as lowering your SMV, if she does not want to have kids then it makes you more attractive.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
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.
