"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.

So as far as my parents know, I've never had a girlfriend, or even hung out with chicks much for that matter (Far, FAR from the truth) but now I'm exclusive with a girl, and I think it's about time to tell them -

How do you suggest telling really christian do-good parents (Just gotta worry about the mom if I do it before friday as dad's out of town) that I'm going out with a girl? I'm probably overreacting but I just don't want to play 20 questions every time I leave the house about every little detail because she thinks I'm off having sex (...).
 

"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.

Don't worry dude, I had the same problem but my dad was surprisingly cool about it. Just dont try to hide too much from them and dont be pissy the first time or two they ask questions or they start suspecting stuff. If you got like a thing goin on where one parent's understanding and cool and the other one's really protective, get the cool one (my dad, in my case) to negotiate between you two, at least when you start off.

"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.

Ha that same situation happened to me a while ago. I was thinking of all sworts of ways to get rid of my mom's suspition and how i was going to tell her we were just "friends" and then when I told her who I was having over (someone she didnt even know) she was like ok, does she need a ride over here? and that was the end of it, I was shocked. I dont know about your parents but for mine if I get to do something once and dont fvck it up then i earn their trust and can do stuff whenever I want. Thank God they didnt go downstairs and check on me tho ;)

I dont think you need to go straight out and tell them that you have a gf. What I suggest you doing is go on a couple get to gethers with some other friends of yours preferably that your parents know of and your g/f, then when they ask you how it went tell her about it and include the girls name and what went on. (but just act like she is a normal friend) Then after she knows that you are just friends with this girl it will be much easier to do more and more stuff with her and eventually they might get the idea that she is your g/f but since you have been friends with her for so long they wont get freaked out.

odds are tho your definately over reacting and they wont care at all

and if all fails then just throw in their face "Fine I guess you want me to be gay then?" lol ;)

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
