"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.

If the person told you they didnt love you, then it would only be infatuation on your part. Far easier to get over.

If its a person you really do love, and they love you, but you cant be together because of the distance, this would hurt a lot lot more, because you would always be holding out hope for them.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I have a similar relationship with my ex

I know you think that it's impossible to LOVE someone at 19 years.. But it kinda happenned to me :D

There's this girl I met in 5 grade elementary.. I fell in love on first sight! Years later she told me she did too.. We were best friends for a long time.. For YEARS it was the strangest mixture of love and friendship.. We didn't part from each other for a second.. And then, one day, we just simply got together.. Till this day, I asure you I never felt with another woman the way I felt with her..

The point being - today we live in different countries.. We see eachother every three months or more. And we KNOW neither of us will ever have with another person what we had with eachother. And every time we meet, we can't help but being together.. In the biblical sense of things..

And I sometimes feel bad for my GirlFriends cause they will never have my 100% love, cause I will always have a soft spot for The ONE.. And we just have to livwe with it..

Be absolutly sincere! 100% truth.. nothing else and things tend to resolve themselves.. It worked for me, don't blame me if it don't work for you!

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:
Be true to yourself and to what YOU want.. I can't stress this enough..

If you love the person and the person loves you very much, you two are very compatible and great together? In short, there's a potential great relationship.

OR

If you love the person but the person tells you he/she doesn't love you to the same degree you love them?
How old are you?

God, I can relate with everything you said. I know how you feel. What you two have is real love. A bond that is something very special and deep. Me and this guy have the same bond. Although we ddi not know each other for years like you guys.

When you said you feel bad for your girlfriends cause they will never have your 100% love cause you will always have a special spot in your heart for the ONE. I feel exactly the same, I know the guy feels the same too when we'l be with other person in the future. And I know we both just have to live with it too...

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

gargamel,

This guy will always be special to me. I know I will always have my love for him. He has a special palce in my heart. That will never change. But how hard it is living with it? Emotional torture? :( You as a guy how do you live with it?

Thanks.

"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 think it would hurt either way. I think it hurts worse if you can't be with the person you love because they don't love you. The initial hurt would be worse. but, the difference is that the pain will go away faster if you realize you aren't together because they don't love you. I am in that situation and it hurts like hell. I told him I loved him and he said he was infatuated with me. But, I know I will eventually get over it.

I was once in the same position, as a guy. It is emotional torture. You will always both hold a special place in your heart for eachother, but it is not healthy at the moment. Cut most of the contact until you are both ready to just talk normally. One day you can try be together, and if its meant to be, it will. But for now, you and he need to get on with your lives. Its very very hard to do, but with many many months of trying, it can be done. Trust me!

Love

Love is action. It's not words man.
I've been through this bull sh*t before.
I'm serious.

It's a 2 way street bro. If she is acting like a piece of doo, and breaks dates, acts busy, doesn't call, PUTS YOUR STYLE DOWN, tells you to change your hair, new pants, new shoes, anything involving self improvement, she is insecure about herself, !
Why? confident women don't give a rats patat about this.
I went out with a HB10 once, she ended up a f*k buddy. She looked like a model...I took her to a party wearing a golf jacket which way grey in color.
Like an old geezer. However the party was pretty damn classy at the ferragamo store in NYC, but I dressed pretty weird and she never commented on it!

"Don't be a fool when love really don't love you"
-some 70's song
 

"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.
