"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.

After sex, around 5 in the morning she asks if I could call her a cab.
The nights before, we'd been together at my place until very late, and I'd dropped her back. Last night, I told her I couldn't be bothered to go and come back from her place, and I wasn't going to let her go back in a cab on her own at that hour. So she should just crash at mine.
She persisted, and tried a few times to kiss me. I refused to kiss her, and told her that things weren't working because she didn't know how to say yes and listen to me.
She kept persisting to kiss me, but I stood my ground. Eventually, with tears in her eyes she ran to the door. At that point feeling somewhat guilty, I called a cab. She told me that I should not go with her, despite this I went with her. We made out in the cab on the way back, and she's coming to see me tonight, so all well in that respect, but should I apologise?
I don't know whether I came across as a man standing his ground or a spoilt brat... :crazy:
 

"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.

Apologise for what? Past is past man, just enjoy a night with your girlfriend, don't bring it up. Although if it's eating at you then tell her exactly how you felt. I believe you came across as a man standing his ground but you gave into her. It's not a big deal anyways. But remember if you don't agree with something, tell her. Which evidently you did do and honesty is the most attractive thing in a relationship.

so she doesnt sleep at your place? Why wouldnt she just sleep there regardless? You sounded like a brat saying that and selfish but its up to you if you wanna apologize. Just say sorry real fast and thats it with no discussion

I honestly don't know why she doesn't.
 

“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.

Yea when a girl says they want to do something regardless let them do it. Then you decide if you want to stick around or not if they do it. They wanna be stupid then let them. its their mistake not yours. My gf does stupid azz sh1t she had a dui already and wanted to drive somewhere the other weekened cause she got p1ssed and I said no cause she was drunk. Then the next thing I know im called possessive and controlling. So then again she got stupid and drunk and wanted to leave. I said fine and went to bed didnt say no or chase her when she was leaving nor called or texted her. Then at 5 am she texts and says im at so and so houses and im ok....well i didnt even ask her anything I was sleeping...then the next morning shes calling me up and wondering why i didnt answer. She responded because I wasnt controlling and saying no. Let them do what they want and you decide if you want to bother with them after. Bottom line dont say yes or no and act like their parents.

You shouldnt apologize at all.

Personally i think you shouldnt have called her the cab at all, since you said that you wouldnt then you should have continued to stand your ground.

Either change your mind in the first place or dont call the cab at all. It looks like you caved into her tears. It did seem a bit controlling too, but hey.

But its ok now, no need to go apologize if things are fine. Aplogizing for caring for her wellbeing (allbeit a tad controlling perhaps) would be wussy.
