Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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.

PRL..damn bro..good words of wisdom.Originally posted by PuertoRican_Lover
Sorry bro, this girls love her 'dream' more than you - accept it!! Just because a girl lost her virginity to you doesn't mean she lost her life!! At 19 there is much dreaming (and reality) ahead!!
What good advice. Read it again!Originally posted by CLOONEY
Ever heard of the saying, "blinded by love" Translation = she is not perfect you just cant see her faults because of your brain chemistry!
Yep, you are definately in love. Thats why u sound like a wuss and feel like you have known eachother forever!
You are young, enjoy your life. Do NOT KEEP IN CONTACT WITH HER! This will only fukc u up! If in a few years circumstances are different and you are both single, u can see how things work out. But right now, u need to live your life and learn and grow!
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.
She may and probably will find another guy she falls in love with. Doesnt mean you two dont have a chance in the future. This is just something you have to accept. She will eventually most definately fall out of love with him at some stage and break up with him. People fall in and out of love all the time. If you two had something special, eventually you will get back together, you just gotta let time run its course.Originally posted by rapsta
yeah bro.. this is the way i want it to be: we broke up now.. i wanna do my stuff.. and let her do her stuff.. and we both develop/grow as persons.. and when we're done with our eduations.. in 4-5 years.. we get together again.. but if she finds a boyfriend that she will love, i dunno if it will turn out that way.. huh?
