"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.

Hi

Lately I went on a week long holiday. It was something we were looking forward too for a long time, so I thought on the way towards the airport I will bring a bottle of cava to celebrate and start on a good note. I got the bottle out of my bag and told the idea.

Most of my friends, not all of them, denied. The reason being it was morning and you don't drink in the morning... Come on I just want to make every moment count and they just bring me down, it's not being alcoholic, it's just enjoying...

Goddamn lately I just don't know what to do anymore, every little thing is annoying me as I want to improve but then sh*t like that happens.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Umm. Nothing wrong with not drinking in the morning. I NEVER EVER EVER drink before noon and I only drink before 4:00pm maybe once every couple of years. Even if your friends don't want to drink at all, you shouldn't count that against them.

Damn.

You dont need new friends Just because of something like that.. so what they didnt wanna drink in the morning, its legit.

I understand your frustration though. When you are trying to change, your life already has some kind of momentum so it takes time to make it move another direction. And the more you are set in your ways, the more momentum it has and the harder it is to change.

But P.U.S.H. (push until something happens .. and then some more) and look for people who inspire you and create relationships with them, that is gonna take you far.

I understand what you are saying. I too have been there. If friends are annoying you nothing wrong with going cold NC on them too like you would a woman. I have done this 2-3 times to friends over the years and it has worked in my favor each and every time. Each time I did and finally talked to the friend again they knew what they had done and they apologized. Also, try to focus on the good things in your life and ignore as many of the bad things as possible.

Life is a sine wave. Just ride the waves, make the changes you need to make along the way to make your life more positive, and the good positive peeks will come.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

So true. Recently I had a friend come into town from Canada for a few days. We invite a mutual friend to go out with us to grab some dinner the night he got into town. When the time came to meet up he wasn't answering his phone so we went without him. I stopped hitting him up after that, a week later he texts me "I apologize for being such a lame ass friend".

Who cares, I'm not a big morning drinker either. But I have dont it before. If you were here complaining that you went on a holiday and all they wanted to do was stay in their hotels....then I'd agree with you.
