"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.

Hi,

I am currently in my first relationship, I have been dating this girl for a little over two months (almost three). Could people who are (or had) in a relationship, tell me if it is worth it for me to buy some books on relationships for advice? Would it be useful knowledge? Could people recommend some books to me, please?


-thanks :)
 

"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.

Dr. Dennis Nedder "being a man in a woman's world". Doc Love's "The System". They both talk about what will fly and what won't in a relationship.

you don't really need a book - just trust your feelings. there's no right or wrong in a relationship. i mean, look, that girl likes you the way YOU are, otherwise she wouldn't fancy you, right?
don't trust any books, because you might get dependent on them and that looks very insecure.
just have fun with your new g/f (congratulations!) and enjoy this new part of your life! :flowers:

Do the same sh*t that got you there in the first place. You don't change sucess, you just add to it.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

So suave is more than all u need :)
I think Sosuave is quite detrimental to relationships.

My advice: be fun, communicate, continue self-improvement, give her AMAZING sex, and always be the prize.

Do this and you will always mantain the power.

The key to relationships is to keep it exciting, and don't become to obsessed with her that you lose all your friends, hobbies, and things that she was attracted to in the beginning. If you didn't have those in the first place, start developing them. She'll appreciate you more.
