"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I've been with this awesome girl for 2 months on the 10th, and I feel like she's going to break up with me soon. Well, one of her friends hates me. Basically I've stolen my gf from her. She wants to hang out with my gf, but when she comes to our college, she feels as if she doesn't know anyone here, including me... so she doesn't like visiting. And it just seems like sooner or later her friends will convince her that I'm not that right guy for her. She said she loves me about 3 weeks ago (yeah it's soon, but we're in college and we spend almost 18 hours a day with eachother and sleepover in eachothers dorms), and I think she loves her friends more than me. But yeah... is there anyway I can some how prevent this from happening? I know our relationship will end sooner or later, but does anyone have any advice to delaying the inevitable(sp)?
 

"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.

You sound like a girl,let them worry about anniversaries and such. We understand your antcipation and happiness but dont forget that you are a guy at the same time.

Well, one of her friends hates me. Basically I've stolen my gf from her. She wants to hang out with my gf, but when she comes to our college, she feels as if she doesn't know anyone here, including me... so she doesn't like visiting.
This matters because?... She is hanging out with you not her, remember women do what they want.

Hey buddy I noticed that no where in your post did you mention a bad vibe from her,so your good. Focus on her not around her. I have lost alot of good friends to ladies and that how it is,vica versa.

Quit spending 18 hours a day together. Thats your first problem, its not healthy. Its natural that your going to break up because you will become sick of each other. You should only see her 2-3 times per week.

Go read the section in the bible that deals with dating and LTR. You need help or you will become AFC and come here crying how you miss her, blah blah blah.

If you start making yourself busy away from her, it will not only salvage your relationship but it will make her more attracted to you. Trust me, go read the bible for more help. An hour spent reading the bible will pay off in spades. Just skim through the titles for articles that relate to you.

Is this guy doing anything right?

Doesn't seem like it.

18 hours per day? Wholly sh*t no wonder she wants to break up with you.

You need to get some hobbies going on in your life OUTSIDE HER. You're in college, so there's plenty for you to do. Join a sports team or a club, study more, go off campus and meet girls outside of your school, etc. etc.

There should be no reason her friend should hate you because you shouldn't be seeing her that much anyway!

Also, you're 19. I'm also 19. Girls at this age are stupid and immature. Tom Leykis reiterates the point that you shouldn't be in a serious relationship until you're 25. I agree with that to an extent. Don't become excessively emotionally attached right now.

It's not love. It's infatuation.

(smack) snap out of it. Where the hell did you get the idea that she wants to break up with you? What did you read an article online that told you that you have to get along with the girls friends to have a successfull relationship? Are you one of those people? She's not going to break up with you just because her friend doesn't like you.

However, you might want to stop spending 18 hours a day with her. Wait, and you sleep over at each others dorms? So, basically, you don't spend a second away from her. You're around her 24 hours a day. I promise you - If she breaks up with you, it's not going to be because of her friend. Give her some breathing room, dude!
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
