"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.

The weather/season where you're at.....

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Why are you talking about the weather in this manner on a forum intended for success with dating? Not quite sure what the purpose is here.

Also sounds like you're in the Midwest; I suggest moving somewhere that doesn't suck.

I just spoke to common sense and they said it's because we're in the "anything else" sub forum.
 

"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.

The weather is the ultimate small talk and ice breaker topic because it’s something we all can relate to. Nothing at all wrong with discussing it here in Anything Else. Sometimes with chicks i will say “Mother nature is being bi polar again. We got 85 this afternoon and then supposed to get down in the 40s by tomorrow morning “. Here in Illinois this scenario is not uncommon. And I like to joke about it.

Weather change-its finally inthe minus celsius numbers in the morning.
So relieved the hot days are gone.

I had to remind myself how to dress for outdoors physical work in the cold.
As soon as I remembered to slightly underdress to compensate for getting overheated while exercising, then I was ok.

Otherwise, the sweat when I take off the layers would chill me. And then the clothes are too damp to put back on.

I don't know if anyone on this forum works in a physical job outdoors like me.
Weather is very important to us.

It is harvest season near me. Combines everywhere. It has been very dry. The Mississippi river just south of st louis is so narrow that barges are backing up. There is a lot more sand than water.
 

"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.

Wow, that is dry.
I imagine that can get serious if too many barges back up.

Harvest was mostly done about 2 weeks ago here.
They give percentage updates on all radio stations, so even when you're in the city you are connected to the farmers.

Its interesting to me to talk about the weather, you learn so much.
Now when I go back to work after break I'll have this image of what it'd be like to be on a barge behind many other barges on a dried river.
