I didn't start to feel hurt until this girl started talking about liking someone. I'm not sure if I'm really having feelings for her or is it some sort of competitive feeling. We're good friends and run in the same social circle. I don't want to jeopardize our relationship unless what I'm feeling for her is more than just friends.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Do I really have feelings for her?

"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.

Yes you do.
It's normal to realize this once her attention starts going elsewhere. It works both ways though, if a girl has you in the friend zone and you start bringing a hot chick around....either the claws come out or she starts trying to pull you into the broom closet when no ones looking. Last you thing you want to do now is to start acting like a puppy dog around her. Like Bradd said, avoid her.....or find yourself a different woman.
oh yeah, and spin plates.
