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.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
I agree from the first 'til the last word, totally! Couldn't have said it betterSerialized3 said:I suppose my way of minimizing drama with girls I'm seeing is to be upfront with my intentions and what I'm looking for right from the start. I'm honestly in it just to meet new girls, and I tell them exactly that. Hell, I don't even "date" anymore, I just "hangout". Sometimes I'll add that I'm not looking for a gf, as it seems many younger women are more into casual dating/hookups. I wouldn't call that part a lie, maybe just a stretch of the truth, because I'm qualifying them to see if they might be gf material.
I'm sort of looking for an LTR, but I've dated so many girls and I've only met a few that have really impressed me. My standards for a gf are high (cultured/sophisticated, intelligent, playful, confident, kindhearted, into the outdoors, and at least "cute"), but what can I say, I'm a catch. :woo:
However, I still believe drama is inevitable, expectations are created, emotions get involved, but it is what it is. Most of the rational, logical arguments you can make to justify your actions or even the situation as a whole are thrown out the window in a fight, as logic holds no weight in an emotionally charged conflict. But you can at least be content with yourself and your choices, if you are trying to live the good life, as I am.
If you tell are girl you just want to be casual (with her) you can say that you never "used" her "just for sex" when she tries to play that card ("honey baby, you know you got more out of it than I did...")
And if you're telling them that you're seeing other girls (which you should be), then they can't really get upset if they find out that you're seeing other girls later, even if there was no understanding that there was some sort of exclusivity or whatever...
I think it's always important to try to get a bearing on whatever girl you're dating, you know, so you don't treat a sophisticated girl like a ho, and don't treat a ho as a sophisticated girl.
As for the big brothers... you either need to hone in on your DONG-FOO or just buy a stun-gun or a pistol. :trouble:
For me, the only drama I'm involved right now is rather minor, two of the girls I'm seeing now seem to have low confidence or something, who both act all shy, unpredictable, flaky, and generally just squirrelly. It's fucking annoying.
That post turned out a lot longer than originally intended.

Leave out the bit about a couple of people."I'm currently dating, but I'm not in a committed relationship."
I dont think this was my quote you quoted. But to answer your question, I think my standards are so high for someone I would consider to have an LTR with, that it is very unlikely I will meet her, at least not in this country. So for now, all I can do is connect with women on a casual basis and see how far it goes, which is usually not very far. My problem is that I treat women so well in bed that they quickly become addicted, and even when there is not much other connection, they still stalk me for sex.JDA70 said:Leave out the bit about a couple of people.
Dongfu what in a LTR are you looking for?
You said you wanted total freedom.
Are you affraid of commitment because you may
fall of the path?

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Wow, what a.....problem to have. I'd rather have too little time because girls want all of it than to have too much time and not a girl in my life.Rex Man said:1) Girls want to much of your time and eventually you'll have too many girls to rotate through the week along with work, school, etc.

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.
