"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.

Question....I have bascially followed everything that Doc Love says in his principles...That's why I have been w/ this girl for over 2 years..and she does everything for me..buys me things, takes me out, extremely considerate.....but there is one little thing that annoys me and I need some guidance on it...When I ask my girl to do something, she is not the most timely person..I have to ask her a few times before it gets done but it aggravates her when I keep asking because she says she feels that I don't trust her to handle things...She may have a point, I don't know...When someone says there going to do something I get ancy if it is not done ASAP because I do things ASAP...I told her from now on, I'll ask her one time and won't say anything else about it but she felt I was being mean about it...I really wasn't but I don't know....like I said the Pros outweight the Cons in this relationship..but this is one thing that bothers me...How should I handle it?

Thanks 4 the responses
 

"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.

She might be like me. I tend to procrastinate until the last minute a lot of the time. I am, however, VERY reliable and dependable. However, I do things my way, on my terms and on my time table. If someone pesters me to do something before I'm ready to do it I get so annoyed that I put it off even longer than I otherwise would. IF this is how your girlfriend is then you may as well just accept it and not try to change her because it will only cause problems between you. It's not a big deal as long as she does do the things she says she will do. So just understand and remind yourself that she isn't an ASAP person and that's okay and you don't need to pester her about things unless she starts not doing them at all. Just give her time to do them on her own time frame.
