"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.

No ****, right?

I cheated on my girlfriend, and though I was totally in the wrong, i won't go into details, but it's a less bad than it seems. Anyhow, I've learned my lesson. It'll never happen again.

Anyhow, although she definitely wants to work it out, and we're even considering couple's therapy, I've noticed some changes.


She's buying other little things.
She's buying new clothes. She's buying new fake eyelashes she's never had before (but she did wear them that night at a party we both went to.)
She wants to start tanning.

Do you guys think this is a pickmeup confidence builder for her, or her just sticking around with me until she's back into tip top dating shape before dumping me?

Thanks
 

"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.

Dude, you raised the stakes. Now you have to play the game. It's YOU she's picking up, after she lost you. Try to be a catch worth the effort. :)

I think she's trying to look good to keep you.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

No.. she found out.. And ever since, she's wanted to be around me every day.. Which I have allowed, since I ****ed up. Last two days have been pretty hard, though. I think she's trying to "punish me"...Anyone else dealt with that.

Thanks for the advice, by the way.

Yeah, if she's sticking around then she's prolly just trying to improve herself so that you won't wanna cheat next time
