"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.

Big fight Physical and Verbal...

She really loved me and trusted me and so Do I... Put I fvcked up I know,,,

Then She said she cant be with me no more.... on christmas even tho she loves me.... I told her Ill fix it... she didnt believe me... Then about couple of days later I call her and tell her Yea I cant be with you... your right....

THAT HIT HER!!! so she said that she forgave me and wants to be with me...

January now.... She says she needs space to think things over... she still talks to me but she is getting over her feeling about what happ and it might takes weeks or years and I should wait...

WTF should I say or do???

Not call her...

OPINIONS
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

Look at the facts.. after you told her you AGREED with her about you two not being right for each other, she came back.

Why?

Because she couldn't get the validation from you. You played your cards right by letting her know that you want her but you don't NEED her.

Play that same hand, because this should be your mindset anyways. Tell her she can take her space if she wants, but you're on your way.

She's trying to go for the powerplay by gaining your remorse and using it to move on to the next guy. Don't give that sh!t to her.

Don't contact her till she contacts you. If she decides to contact you, make sure she earns this sh!t back because she's the one who asked for a break, not you!

Don't accept her back until she's earned it.

You did good by acting unphased by everything, but it seemed like as soon as she forgave you that you jumped the gun back into everything. It's all just a validation game as WC2 said. If she wants a break then give her one, just don't accept her so quickly, only when you feel she has earned it.

Now she keeps bringing up that I cheated on her.... AFTER SOO MANY TIMES WE DISCUSSED THIS... THIS TOPIC KEEPS COMING UP!!... HOW DO I GO ABOUT THIS?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

The moral to this story is: If you really love the person you're with, don't cheat.

The truth is, you brought this upon yourself. You're fvcked, cheating isn't something that she's just going to forget about. Of course she'll keep bringing it up.

Stay strong.

If she's enough of a sucker to take you back after finding out you cheated (and were probably going to cheat again with the same woman), she'll be contacting you before too long.

Doesn't sound like it is bound to work in the long run with you two, but you may just get the last laugh in this one. It's just your pride kicking in. If she DOESN'T contact you, leave her be. There are others, this I know.
