Me and my gf just broke up...damn I need to find a replacement asap!
"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.
Just broke up
- Thread starter amnbyrd
- Start date
"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.

I guess it doesnt really matter. We both wanted it anyways and I know Im better off without her and someone better for me. We were only goin out for a few weeks anyways though breaking up always sucks.

4 weeks, u didnt **** her, and you claim to be in a relationshipo with this girl? jesus.. what has the world come to...amnbyrd said:nope didnt get that far
are you SURE it was a relationship? did she suck your **** at least?
Why? Did you burn a pot roast?! (I'M KIDDING, LADIES!)amnbyrd said:Me and my gf just broke up...damn I need to find a replacement asap!
Careful there. If you come across as desperate, you'll be in trouble.
You don't NEED a girlfriend right now. You will always need GOOD women in your life (I think we all do), but not a girlfriend. If you start thinking you NEED one, you're going to give up some things just to get one... things that you might not want to give up...Maybe even if few things you SHOULDN'T give up.
I know you're kind of kidding, but my post is just a reminder, cause sometimes when we joke, we start almost believing the joke as the truth.
See, I think the problem is (in my life, anyway) there are so few women that I spend any time with, so if I go through a relationship, and it doesn't work, it's really tough to find another GOOD woman. I've tried getting female friends, and except for a select few, I'm out of options for now, at least as far as what I look for in a healthy relationship. It sounds crass sometimes, but "the backups" seem to be few and far between. Right now I'm in a very healthy place as far as relationships go, and I just pray that I can last this summer, and keep my somewhat healthy perspective in tact.
If you're in a similar situation, good luck. I hope nothing but the best for you.

"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.
