"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.

What do I do now?

I think I'm now facing a ****blocker.

My situation is:

-I flirt with Girl A a lot and kind of neglected her good friend, Girl B

-I flirt and tease Girl A sometimes in front of Girl B

-Girl B seems to have an inferiority complex from what I observed about her, like always complaining that her mom loves her sis more, and that she looks ugly next to Girl A and that Girl A snatches all the guys away

-Both girls have the birthdays in the same month, so I gave them b-day gifts. Girl A says it was really cute and she liked it, and Girl B's first response was "Eeek! Why did you give me an owl?"
(Girl A's present: mini t-shirt with Penguin; Girl B's present: mini t-shirt with Owl)

-Girl A is very cute and sweet but Girl B is plain-Jane at best

-Girl A already has a bf but my relationship with her is more like "friends who do nothing but flirt everytime" (I intend to keep it that way)

These few days, Girl B seems to have changed her attitude towards me and it's now getting from bad to worse everyday. Last week was bad but today was worse.

The 3 of us had lunch today and she just shut me out of the entire convo, and keeps talking about stuff which I will never be able to take part in.
I sat there like a ****ing dummy and pretended to be engrossed in reading the newspapers.

What do I do now? I'm thinking of just keeping quiet for a few days and give both Girl A and B the cold treatment, and see if Girl A will come up to me instead.

I doubt it will work, though, because it seems that's exactly what Girl B plans to achieve: to minimize my contact with Girl A and hope that we drift apart.

Btw, I know that we should treat all girls equally so that they will not get jealous and do **** to you, but some girls just have a strong inferiority complex and they get jealous no matter what.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You already said that Girl A had a bf and you don't want to escalate beyond friends. So basically, your chance of getting laid with girl A is almost 0 (not that you've got no game, but you have set that boundary yourself). So, unless you want to fvck Girl B, I don't see any point in hanging out with *both* of them anymore.

As far as why Girl B is doing that. Some girls are just b!tches. They've got problems that have nothing to do with you. I'd, however, ask for Girl A's opinion about it. "what's up with your friend Girl B? She seems to hate me or something.." Though none of the information is gonna help you getting laid, it just helps you understand more b!tches.

Btw..stay the fvck away from Girl B. She's gonna bring you more problems the more you hang out with her.

Thanks Sharky! Actually, I used to try to chase after Girl A, but after I found out she's got a bf, I respected that and maintained a flirty relationship with her. Actually, I do know the chances of getting sex is 0, but I see her like a good friend cos' besides flirting, we care about each other and all.

This girl has a long relationship with her bf and their families are connected to each other, so I don't wanna screw that up.

Anyway, the issue is not with Girl A, it's Girl B.
Girl A and B are pretty close and always hang out together.

A question, though: when a girl ****-blocks you to make you stay away from her hot friend, does the hot friend usually know it and try to help the guy? Or does she side with her ****-blocking friend instead?

Hell yeah she does. She's probably being polite to her and you not to express it. I don't know who she's helping you or her friend, that's her choice. That's why you should ask her about why her b!tchy friend hates you, to make a statement that you are the victim and hopefully she's buying into it.

Girl B knows that she's ugly and that's why she's being a b!tch. Girl A knows she's hot, that's why she's cool. Girl B knows that Girl A steals all the men, and Girl A knows that the Girl B doesn't get laid. The relationship between these two females are destined to be doomed, as one female sees the other as a competition and the other probably hangs out with her out of pity.
