"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 girlfriend whom I've only been dating for about a month gets extremely jealous when she sees me flirting and talking to other girls. Last night we all went bowling and one of her roommates kept making fun of me and teasing me and I didn't know that was flirting till later that night when my gf got angry. This shows she has very high interest, I'm not annoyed of it yet, but how can I use this to my advantage? Should I keep talking to these girls so that she somehow stays interested? Or should I quit talking to them all together? Any advice from you LTR people?
 

"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.

When was the last time you flirted with your GF in the presence of other women?

exteme jealousy is a BIG turnoff and should be treated as a red flag.

My girlfriend is a little bit clingy and jealous, but only under situations that warrent them.

If she would go off on me for the littlest things, then I would say so long because my job that I have (mascot) makes me flirt and hit on the ladies all the time.

Guess your IL in your gf isn't that high.
