"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.

My fiance' is moving out in a week. The reason, to keep it short, is because she needs space, as do I. What is even more f****d up, is we still love each other. Is it crazy to think that we could be more compatibale when we live in seperate places?

In order for any chance at all to save this relationship, should I not show any affection, or just ignore her altogether? We have a child together, so of course we still have to come in contact.

Does anyone have any advise on how to follow through at this point?

What shouldn't I say??

"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.

She wants space to live more independent and to have her own bills and responsibilities. She really needs to clear her head. I'm thinking she needs a wake-up call. She is 27 and hasn't had much time to live on her own. What I'm hoping to see is for her to have her independence and possibly later down the road work on our relationship. I just don't want to destroy it altogether during this process. I'm in limbo with my feelings. I'm not sure how I shoyuld even acy towards her at this point.

That's a huge load of 5hit. She's using this excuse so she doesn't have to tell you that she's not attracted to you anymore. This is called "********", the language that women use when they pu55yfoot around a subject (ie how they feel about you). Also included are:

"I don't see you in that way"
"I'm not ready to date"
"I wanna be just friends"

yea

block her off entirely for a while (don't respond to casual messages, "how are you doing?", "lets meet up for a coffee and chat", etc)...until she gives you the message that she wants to unconditionally come back...and even then be slightly difficult about it.

Since you do have a child I don't recommend tossing it off so easily...
...but if there was no child, I'd even recommend that a common friend give her a "suspicion" that you might have found someone else who is really nice.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
