In a relationship now where we fight alot over stupid things. Anyone ever start off like this then have it get better as you get to know each other more?
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.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
I'm sure people have, but in my experience it gets worse. Early on is when things usually come a lot easier. Things are still new, so you tend to be more forgiving. As time goes on, you start seeing patterns that bother you more, causing those frustrations to come out at sometimes unrelated times.SgtSplacker said:In a relationship now where we fight alot over stupid things.

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.
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.
Wtf man??? I'd dump that hoe in a heart beat... Relationships are supposed to increase happiness, not stress you about over something like this! If this biitch is pulling this shiit on you, dump her ass, and move on, definitely not worth your time. My wife would drive me to stagettes so I could take my clothing off for other women and get felt up by them... you think she would care if I went to a strip club??? Dump the dumb biitch. I swear some chics freak out over the dumbest shiit... if she was worth anything she'd be secure enough to not care where you went, whether it be a strip club or a star trek convention.SgtSplacker said:Yeah I just got out of a 7 year relationship and can count the fights we had on one hand. With this girl we can't go a week without fighting. She just has a totally skewed sense of reality. This last falling out happened because she found a band from a strip club in one of my shirts. Its probably about a year old but she thought it was from the other day so that set her off this time. Calling me a liar, saying i'm not man enough to admit I went there recently, saying she cant trust me, told me she wasnt going to stay sexually exclusive (lasted 2 days, whatever), says shes gonna get even with me, if I tell her i'm getting tired of this and I don't deserve this treatment then i'm making myself out to be a victim and I honestly didnt go! I'm just seriously running out of patience here i've been NC for a day now and I might stay that way. I grow weary of this...
