"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.

****s wierd guys, im not sure whats wrong with me. We've been broken up for months and shes ****ed up to me, and i stopped talking to her. Yet i still have nightmares where we went up together again as if i want it. Other day i sent out a bulk email to all my friends list talking about my bands upcoming show, and she was on the list and i forgot. I got a email back saying "**** off, mr.vans". Which is funny i didnt know she paid so much attention to what shoes i wear when i havent atlked to her in 5 months... ha
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

however i replied with a very neutral response. I figured hating her is pointless, and gives her to much. Hates like a curved blade, neutrailty is the route to go it seems.

Bump ? What do you expect us to say to you ? Sounds like your getting along with life fairly well without her.

there should be a forum for people driven by "the one" cuz i'm seeing more and more convo's lately about ex's. no problem with that, but now i just cringe about the whole thing cuz i think the whole soul mate thing and all that was such a facade.

when i finally woke up and saw the way things worked, then i was able to really focus on the advice and information given on this site. I really feel sorry for the people who still pine after an ex that dumped them for some other guy because he wasn't good enough, but "she's perfect" so he can't move on. Hate to sound like a dyck, but really love just messes with you. If you're not careful and can't control it, someone always gets burned.

typically you just get stuck thinking about that one person you had "history" with instead of focusing on the next step in your life. that chapter should be done and the best thing to do is see if you made mistakes and then correct them and move on.

now i pretty much just went on a rant there which probably doesn't apply to your situation, but it's good to know why it's best to move on and then move on. far too many guys i talk with find REASONS to LOOK for things to analyze, they just don't wanna look for someone new and it sucks to try and help someone that don't get it.

btw, funny how girls can be complete bytches like that. my ex gf told me a good 3 months ago to f' off cuz i jokingly left a message on her site about a band she likes coming to town.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
