"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.

i'm 6 weeks in
facebook official

we've known eachother 9 months & briefly dated at the beginning of the year.

6 weeks ago she asked for a relationship after I went full DJ over the last few months


I'm fully comfortable with initial stages of attraction, but the problem now is real intimacy & connection etc (no homo)

How do you maintain attraction, not become her b*tch but still be a boyfriend she raves about how awesome you are....
i know a sh*t test when i see it... i think..
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Working on the same thing here bro. GF asked to be in a relationship, was eating out of my hand a week ago...now there are signs of disrespect and power struggles.

I would say stay somewhat mysterious. No useless texting and keep it fun.

Knowing this however, there are those girls that you just can't win with. Figure that out and eject as necessary. I'm still learning too.

The comedian Amy Schumer has a lot of material about relationships that is brutally honest about the female perspective. Being true is what makes it funny.

"When I get into a relationship, I need to see just how much bvllsh!t the guy can take from me. I'll give him a little, then a little more, and then some more, until he finally puts his foot down. Then I'll back off entirely and be like OH...OK...That was what I needed to know...thanks! " :D

Make sure to set everything early on in the relationship and don't change your lifestyle around her.

If you've arranged to go out with the buddies and she want's a cozy night in with you, don't stay in with her.

Stay busy, when things are going awesome don't see her for a few days and watch what happens ;)

The attraction is already there....you simply need to avoid "lowering it". How does one drop their attraction level?

-He cares more about the relationship than the girl
-Too needy/Becomes emotional too fast + too much
-Too many gifts + acts of love(rapport)
-Failing sh1t tests(biggest one)
-Becomes boring and content with life now that he has GF
-Jealousy + overprotective

Savy? Biggest one for me is the sh1t tests. They are small things but can really add up to big things. Im in the early stages of a relationships and we are transitioning into the stage were her feelings are becoming more powerful so she now gives me common intimacy sh1t tests like:

-How does my hair look?
-I feel skinny today, do you notice?
-Do you miss your girlfriend?
-etc

Never turn into a sappy beta and answer her with "oh ya babe your so hott". It seems small but over time the tests will evolve. Just keep being a funny, witty alpha male and pass her tests with flying colors. REMEMBER...avoid avoid avoid. Or amplify to the absurdity.
 

"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.
