"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.

So my ex dumped me about a month ago and we were still talking a little the week after, but then we both just dropped everything. I tried to initiate small talk over myspace and facebook, but she wouldn't reply back... I knew that it was over forever, but I didn't think she'd go as far to ignore me like that... we both live in the dorms at the same college, and some of her only friends are 5 other guys that I live with. My friends tell me that she still talks to them sometimes, and she even writes on their facebook walls... seeing her doing this just tears me apart. I know I have to get over her and I'm trying... but the fact that she's ignoring me just tears me to shreds... what is your advice on this?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

why would you want anything other than to cease all contact with her? Talking to her and being around her is just tantalizing yourself.

the less contact you have with her, the faster you will get over her and stop hurting. be indifferent to everything else, myspace/facebook crap.

Have you read the bible? Read it. THe best thing for YOU right now is to forget about her.
 

"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.
