"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I don't know how to comfort/cheer my GF when she needs it.

If ANY woman on this Earth said ANY of these things to me:

-she feels that I lack initiative and effort, I'm this, I'm that.

-her heart says that something is wrong.

-She sometimes feel that I'm like a friend and not more. She expects a BF to be reliable, making her feel safe and calm. But I haven't met her standard yet.


And then had the nerve to follow it up with:

-Despite all that, she feels that I'm still irreplaceable in her heart for now. She loves no other man other than me.

The instant a woman even begins to tell you that you are not good enough for her, cut off with "ok, it's been fun!" and march right out of her life. If there is any hope of good relationship, then she will run after you.
Well, she didn't exactly say "for now." The more exact words are: "There's still nobody that can replace you. I still can't love a man except you."

At least I DID propose a breakup. But when she said she didn't want to and still loved me, it made me reconsider. Beside, I still love her, too.
 

"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.

I think in the case of them both they are co-dependants too afraid they won't get anyone else so they cling to each other.
I think the thing that's keeping our relationship last is our love to each other. No matter what problems we had, love conquered them all.

Sounds like you don't love her that much since you suggested the split.
Since when does suggesting a split mean a person doesn't love his/her partner that much? ;)

I'm missing something, in this case how exactly does it enforce your love for her? :confused:

I don't know, I was so confused. On one hand, I loved her. On the other hand, I was afraid the relationship won't work out in the long run..
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Alright, let's stop making assumptions about the worse based on generalities. Getting to the specifics, what exactly can the two of you do differently to help the relationship that would be so terrible that it makes you afraid of trying it because of fear of failure?
