Don't fix her problems is iceberg advice: you are not her therapist on first contact. In practice: rapport is a beat, not a clinic. Deep diving is her talking about something real — not you solving her landlord.[1][2]
Method
- Listen one beat. Don't leap to a plan.
- Tease or lead out of the hole. You are not the help desk.
- If the whole set is her venting, you are in friend-shaped territory. Sexualize or leave.
Failure mode
Fixing as a way to be useful because you have no other game. That's the nice-guy funnel.
