"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Alright.. so i've had a girlfriend for about a month now.. but recently shes been getting on my nerves, shes been so negative, and basically isn't what i'm still looking for..

So my question is, how could i go about breaking up with her?
Is there another way to start this conversation beside.. "We need to talk" ? :rolleyes:

I was thinking saying something about how the relationship isn't what i am looking for right now, and how my feelings aren't as strong... Any ideas are appreciated :D
 

"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.

Read what you wrote man. You already answered your own question. BY that I mean....

Can't say I blame you. i wouldn't want to be around someone that was negative toward me or themselves.

Stop trying to bring the news to her from a different perspective and just tell her how you feel about the whole situation. Rather you give her another chance or dump her is up to you.


Just my two cents...:eek:

Dump her. It's not that hard. Just say I don't want to let you down, but I just want to be friends (like that'll ever happen).
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Not that I can think of. "We need to talk" will do just fine. Then, Tell her how shes a negative ***** and is getting on your nerves. In nicer words of course.:) But make it clear that something has to change if she wants you around.
Tell her how she can improve. one of 3 things will happen
1. Shell dump you. Thats what you wanted, anyway?
2. Shell improve.
3. Youll dump her.
Either way, you win.
Its easy to dump her after that.
"Its over."
You did all the talking already.

Quit it with the excuses. No need to justify eather.

I no longer wish to persue this relationship.

"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.

There's no proper way of breaking up. It always and will always hurt...no matter how nicely you say it. Just stop communicating and seeing her. I hope she's not a psycho and starts stalking you man =) But I admire your maturity at your age. Most guys will stay at a bad relationship rather than leaving it just to say they have a girl. I suggest that you go to askmen.com and start reading doc love's articles

Isn't askmen.com full of AFCs? I've never been over there but from what i've heard they promote a lot of not-so-manly behaviour. I'd stick around here if you want to improve yourself...
