"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.

Well, I've been with this girl for 6 months and the antics have just started.

So, everytime I call her house and her mom picks up I always get some bs excuse of why I can't speak to her. However, when anyone else answers it's fine.

I took her out Friday night and after being out for 45 minutes her mom calls to ask if she's OK. Then calls her 4 times during dinner and then on the way home her mom calls @ 11:30 asking if I'm drunk driving, which I never do btw - I drink on rare occasions. We get back at 1:30 am and her mom is waiting for her.

And then tonight, I call her house and her mom answers and says that she's not feeling well and that she's asleep. Mind you it's only 10 PM.

I've asked her about this and she just says "oh nothing". So, my question is, is that am I just being parinoid? If not, should I ignore this whole thing or should I take some sort of action?

cliffnotes: I've been with a girl for 6 months, just recently I get the feeling that her mom hates me. She says her mom doesnt. What should I do?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

try being extra respectful, and i don't know how you go about your phone business but if some high school tool was calling my daughter every night i'd start thinking "damn, who is this loser who keeps calling my daughter." and that could be how her mom feels.

i think your being paranoid dude, it's probably a good thing if her mum doesn't like you as long as the chick sees no logic in her mum's over reacting, basically your the bad boy that her mum doesn't like and that's good, much better than the nice guy that mum likes but she has no feelings for

personally i know plenty of chicks who's mum thinks i'm da bomb and it hasn't helped me one bit

i think the MOM is being paranoid and doesn't have a good relationship with your GF, cuz its like if she is not allowed to have her own doughter, then nobody else can. Got that from personal experience that pushed me to the edge of seeing a psychiatrist, but thats hellalot too long story.
 

"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.

My last girlfriend. Her parents hated me. At first I was really nice and polite. Spent 4 months of it trying to win them but everytime they just said **** to her behind my back. So i started being a bit more forceful and conflictive and they stopped it. I dont mean i was rude. I just stopped sucking up and started speaking my mind no matter what to them. I think they saw that i didnt care what they thought (which i didnt aslong as my gf liked me) and like i say they stopped...

As for you. Your gf needs a mobile or msn account for you to get her direct.

haha well, we're in college and we're off on break and she left her charger back at school. The thing is, is that I count the ammount of times I've called and her mom's answered on two hands.
