"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 a woman lives in your house, you might as well be married to her

First date. This is based on my experience. MOST red flags will be apparent within a year, but not if they know what to hide because they know your value system.
Sounds reasonable. To play devils advocate, most of my coworkers are high religious and met their spouses via matchmakers or family arrangements. This is the traditional approach of the past. Why does that work?
 

"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.

This post is to be saluted....

Boyos, for the unaware, Co-habitation with a woman, after a certain period of time and in some jurisdictions, will carry the same financial risks as being married to her - example, she can claim half your property if she can demonstrate that there was an Implied Understanding that property and earnings were to be shared equally.

If she lives in your house, and the bills are split, she can make a case to get half your stuff....

If you're gonna cohabitate, at least do it in an apartment and hide your wealth from her.

This has very limited application even in the jurisdictions that recognize it (which is not very many). It is very difficult to prove.

Why take a risk? If a man wants to risk cohabitation I recommend doing it in an apartment and hiding his net worth.

Not worth worrying about unless you’re spending years with her and have jointly held assets.

Why would you get married to someone who has deal breakers for you?

I don’t like drugs or smokers. Why the fvck would I not know that the chick I’m dating does drugs?

This sounds like a bunch of excuses. Shvt of get off the pot. She’s either compatible enough to wife or she’s not. The statistics bear this out. Living with her first increases your chance of ending up in divorce court.
marriage? lol
i'll say this , keep smashin until she gets the wanderlust out of her system and then we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
unless you are cool with your wife going to jamaica for a month
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I don't know about any of you guys but I need time away from all the love and affection to recalibrate myself. Might be a weekend, might be a week, could be 2. I need to be kinda selfish and live in the moment. I usually find I return to couple life refreshed and appreciative.

I think a discussion about how you can take a week or a weekend to join her is warranted. But you being resentful of her taking tome that she can afford to take, to spend with her family is pretty butthurt and insecure.

It’s a red flag that she’s leaving OP for weeks for a “family trip.” Women with 100% interest level just won’t do that.
straight up.

dont fall for the ol ''insecure'' brainwash trick
women are always saying one thing when they mean the other.
one minute they need a guy with a ''big heart'' next week you see a meme go viral saying she cant ride a big heart. *shrugs*

Everything ended up working out fine. Some of the insight here was really helpful. We talked out any frustrations we had, and they stem from my job accelerating our return-to-office date by six months compared to what they told us a month ago and that I want to move sooner to avoid a lengthy commute. She wants to carefully search each town we'd consider moving to, and felt rushed. She also insists that I join her the next time she and her family go away.
 

"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.

im glad all is well just be careful man , don't let your guard down.
you had to ''talk'' with her which put you in the submissive not super submissive or anything it just shows tolerance and a reluctance to leave a suspicious situation, that you would rather talk it out.
