"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.

hello men

after about 2 years in LTR things are just about done, im exausted, drained and dont know how to handle the situation, all i know is i have to start all over again and dont know if i can do it.

gym - check
career- check

social outings - none
socializing with women in general - none
friends/buddies - none
activities- none

age - mid 30's
style - bald head/shaved some tattoo's
self employed/buisness owner

maybe depressed?
 

"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.

waht? afraid of the unknown? afraid that now your life has taken a new direction, you dont know how to deal with it?

THIS IS WHERE THE FUN STARTS!

dont look at it as a negative, its pure positive for you. IF YOU WANT TO VIEW THAT WAY.

this will give you a chance to help map out your life. even though there are no absolutes, at least you now have a chance to.

Put it this way. you are at ground zero now. nowhere to go but up.

If that's your answer... change that fact. Stop telling yourself you are afraid and simply do exactly what is scaring you. You are gonna be uncomfortable, but only 2 things can happen:

1) It works and you find friends/women
2) It doesn't work the first few times and you realize it's not nearly as bad as you imagined it to be.

If you have the background of this stuff, it will come out when you put yourself in the position to use this info. I'm dealing with some of this too, and last weekend was really my first time out. I didn't even get a number, yet I had more fun than I have in years. That single night has given me the confidence to get back out there again, and I can't wait.

I sat back for a while, hoping the confidence would come, and the fear would go away. It doesn't. You need to go out and make it happen.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

its the worry of the unknown. not knowing where you are in life IS scary. No real footing.

As I said before, this is where the funs starts. You begin to build footing underneath and that may friend is the next step(at least to me) in the right direction.

without a stable foundation, your kingdom, house, or you will crumble underneath the pressure.

This is a wonderful opportunity to re invent yourself. dont squander it by being afraid. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.

this will help create character. with character more and more women will be drawn to you.

Georgie... I know exactly how you are feeling. But just look back at your posts in this thread alone. Everything you mention, or focus on, is the negative aspect.

I'm not saying this is "wrong" because I feel there is (and should be) a grieving process in these situations. What I am more saying is, the mindset you currently have isn't going to make the future look bright. Just know that once you get past some of this, over some time, things will look a bit clearer. It may just hit you one day, and you will feel the sudden urge to change some major factor in your life that can help you immensely.

Stick in there and keep your head up. PokerStar is exactly right about this actually being a GOOD opportunity for you. Once you realize that, you will be ready to start over in the right place.
 

"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.

Let's see, independent entrepreneur, mid-30s, tattooed/shaved badass, works out, newly single, proven he can handle an LTR...

What's the problem exactly?

You're going to have ladies chasing you like you were the fifth Beatle.
Worry is a form of self-punishment. Give yourself enough time (not too much) to get over your breakup, then get out there man!
my life was 100% freestyle before the relationship, i did and wanted what i wanted to do 24 hours a day 7 days a week

i was going out every weekend, hooking up with girls buying badass cars and bikes ( still have them ) ect ect... then family and friends started putting on the pressure for me to settle down, they wore me out with it

Worry is my primary feeling right now

Ltr's over, time to start rebuilding your base. Finish off that checklist from the first post with check instead of none and you're good to go. With your prior knowledge, it won't take long before back to 100%. Have fun and post your field report if you have time.

Right there with you Bro. Ex-GF gets all her stuff out of my house this thursday. 2 years of my life that it took to realize that we aren't compatible. Well I realized that. I truly think she just saw me as sperm provider/ dad for kids, etc. I got lucky. No kids, no marriage, etc. So sounds like you are ticking off the things to do. Good for you. It gets easier the farther you get from them. I see why your down. You don't really have her gone yet. That's coming. In the meantime get back to making yourself stronger. Gym/ activities/ work goals. Set some achievments that you want to get to. Then focus on them.
