"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.

So i had grown my hair for 6 months. Still styled it tho. And i was getting hot cuz of warmer weather so i cut it buzzed cut. I look 25 now. Was looking 33. Everyone in class was complementing. My guy friends too cuz obviously i look much younger.
Humble brag aside...i noticed my gf/plate did not mention it once in 8 days. And started to act aloof, bossy, dissmissive. Opposite the caring way she was before. Except in the bedroom. It was more of everything. More passion if you will. Shes 39.
You think shes feeling awkward?
 

"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.

She is feeling like you are going to get more attention from women and doesnt like it. She is worried you will look elsewhere.

Why don't you just ask her? You know her better than anyone here. Be playful about it but find out what's going on if it's bothering you.

Oh, then if you're not worried about what's in her emotions then why do you care if she's more happy or if she's bitter?
 

"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.

Because it shows character. It shows how she deals with things. And its an indication of thd future.
Common sense someone youre with gets hotter you should applaud that and support it.

I think the thing I would find most strange, is that she didn’t even mention the most obvious thing... that your hair is all gone. Girls attention or not. Haha like if my cat walked in to the room and had lost all is hair, I’d at least be like

Me:“WHOA!”
Cat: “Meow”
Me: back to reading book
Cat: looks out window

———
In all seriousness, passion could have went up because you drastically changed your hair style overnight, so for her it would make her, in a sense, feel as though she was sleeping with someone else. (I’m not saying she wants to)

Plus, women like a shaved head I think, especially for a one night or short term partner. I always have generally longer-medium length hair (think Leo Dicap, in Romeo).
And I’ve on a whim, buzzed my head a couple times. Everytime I’ve done this I NOTICE women really start to notice me even more. And I can never figure out why.

how long have you two been together?

No I think she is feeling her age.

If you said she was 26 and acting this way, then maybe you would have a point. But 39? She could be grandma with a 3 year old granddaughter.

Ouch.

So then her emotions are something that should concern you so talk to her about it, rather than have people who
don't even know her assume what's going on in her head. It's not like she's someone you just started dating right? You know this person better than anyone here.
