"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.

There seems to be a big fear on here of ones GF going on holiday with her friends. I can understand where you guys are coming from, but what happens if you want to go on holiday with your friends?
You can go with your friends, but she cannot? That isn't fair.

Like I say I can understand why, but sometimes I think this site goes over the top on certain things & guys can come across as insecure. I.e Boundaries, ending LTR's for little things,.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Separate trips shouldn't be the norm. And for many that you are invited and can choose to decline. There is a right way to do these things.

Yeah I know it defo shouldn't be the norm. I 've been with my Gf two & a half years & we haven't been on holiday without each other, but if I wanted to go away with my friends, I should be able to without fearing her going away on holiday with her friends & cheating. If you don't trust her, whats the point of being with her. If you cannot go away with your friends & enjoy yourself & visa versa.

Its just not good if it's most of the time. You guys should be able to have fun TOGETHER. If you have to have fun all the times APART then you guys aren't really together in my opinion.

Trips and fun make memories. Good and fun memories are important.

Am not on about all the time. Maybe once every three years if that.
 

"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.

That's very acceptable. My current babe is not doing much FUN stuff with me, she does it with her girls. It IS a problem. She's young and doesn't understand. She does more expensive stuff with me like dinners and stuff, but we will adjust the rest.

its something you do when single, as you enter a LTR you both should stop doing this kind of thing, its disrespectull to you and tot he LTR, she should do a holiday trip with you included, that only girls trip shows a lot of disrespect

If she is going with her friends instead of you, then at the very least consider the location.

If the location is a place for debauchery and partying, like cancun or zante, then it's a red flag.

If it's somewhere normal like Rome or Berlin then it's not too bad. Ideally she should be going with you.

Why would she put herself in such a position where questions could arise?

Like i said in post three, I think one should be able to go away with their friends for a trip without the partner being insecure & paranoid.
I can understand the fear, but if you cant trust a girl, then why be with her.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I think this site is great, but the responses to my OP worry me. A lot of guys on this site are paranoid & insecure. This kind of behaviour will make a girl lose attraction for you fast.

dude ready your signature, you are missing the damn point over the damn thing, if you don't care then don't come here asking a question you know you will not like the answer, its not trust being, insecure or paranoid, is lack of respect and the very least she not caring if you will get someone else when she is away, she don't care much about you, if both of you are not traveling together, then pretty sure you both or are not really ready for a ltr or don't have a clue what that would mean

btw after 6 months you come here and post this up? what did happen?
 

"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.

Of course she would care if I got with someone else. She would be devastated because she loves me.

I really cannot understand your mentality. You want to wrap a girl up in cotton wool.

I might follow your advice & lock my woman up in her room with her ball & chain. Pathetic!!

I honestly don't have a problem with your girl going on a vacation with her chick friends. If she's gonna cheat, she'll do it regardless. My girl goes on vacation with her girl friends and I do the same with my guy friends. I don't see a problem with it. All these guys blabbing about how it's inconsiderate of their feelings and their boundaries is ridiculous. What if she had the same rule for you? "You can't go on a holiday with your guy friends or it'll breach my boundaries". You'd call her a cuckoo

Thats my point. Imagine your best friend was getting married. Him & another two close friends were going to Moscow for a four day stag doo. If you followed advice of posters on this thread you would have to tell them "errm, i'm sorry I cant go. I don't allow my GF to go on trips with her friends, therefore I cannot go on trips with my friends :s

I think it would be an issue if your GF was frequently going on party trips like magaluf. However I don't see it as an issue if she goes to lets say Canada for a week with her (girl) friends.

I've been with my GF three years now & we haven't been on holiday without each other
