"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.

My gf just told me that we shouldn't date anymore. We've been together for about 5 months and we was starting to think about the future, and what would happen if we had kids together.

I have albinism and a heart condition, both of which are genetic. She told me that she couldn't risk having kids with those problems.

I was dumbfounded. I've never heard anything like that before.

Assuming this is not a cover for something else, is this a totally wrong attitude on her part?

I know what to do about her - NEXT, but can I do anything to prevent it in the future.
 

"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.

Not talking about kids in only after 5 months would help.
If a women is invested in you enough that stuff will seem like small potatoes

She's the one who brought it up.

In cases like that, I would suggest to her to slow down on the baby talk and live in the moment. Even if she brought it up , ultimately it was brought up to soon. Gotta control the escalation yourself, right?

This doesn't pass the smell test for me.

Women rarely give the actual reason when they breakup with someone. More often than not - it's another guy. And then they backwards rationalize the decision.

This reason given is fvcked up on her part, because you may or may not already have an insecurity about these things and i doubt this helps.

But, just forget about her man. Your instinct is to try to make everything better or at least get some closure.... Im big on following your instincts; but in this case - just move on.

Whatever the reason - she's not worth the resources mentally.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
