"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.

My ex and I have been friends for a while now; it's going on two years. Anyway, I asked her the other day what her new year's resolution was. She says, "It's a secret." Then she asks me what mine is. I tell her that I'm not telling until she tells me hers. She does not comply. So I just let it go, until last night as I was about to go to bed. I assumed she was playing the first time and thought she might actually tell me. Of course, she doesn't. She tells me she can't tell me. This frustrates me to no end. Why wouldn't she be able to tell me something like that? I kind of prodded a little bit, but she wouldn't budge, so I just said **** it. What do you do in a situation like this? Do you just act like you couldn't care less? I've never given her any reason not to trust me.
 

"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.

You drop it and never bring it up again. You shouldn't care if she has secrets - this is an ex-GF and she has no obligation to do anything you want.

It's probably really nothing anyway, and if it something, I bet it's not important. I think she is just playing with you and she loves it that you can't handle it.

I wouldn't get into this situation in the first place. Lets face it, this friendship with the EX is bull$hit. I am guessing she dumped you and you took the "Lets just be friends" bait but in actuality you still want to fvck her.

But instead of moving on you decided (or rather she decided) to put "specific boundries" on the relationship which mostley involves you not being able to touch her or get too close to her, while still hoping that some day you will. She on the other hand loves the fact that you can provide her with constant attention and doesn't need to screw you and can go fvck someone else. Yep you are like a dog tied to a leash with a muzzle on and you are mad!

Be free and take away the leash and muzzle she placed on you and end this experiment and you won't have to act like that and think like that.
 

"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.

Why give a **** about what her NYR is?

I understand what everyone here is saying, but her nyr isn't really the point. It was just a simple, honest question that she didn't want to answer for some reason.

Why do you care so much then?

Lets say your NYR was to fvck as many girls as possible in 2007. Would you tell her that?? I think you got your answer.

Most chicks NYR is to find love and for her it ain't you, so why should she tell you?? it will only hurt you, and after all she needs you around for attention so she can have her cake and eat it too.
