Me and my gf just broke up...damn I need to find a replacement asap!
"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.
Just broke up

"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.

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.

nope didnt get that far
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
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.
