"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.

"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.

ouch you really got it bad, huh ?

being in love / infatuation is not the same as LTR

one thing is clear; one of you will have to move

do you take it for granted that it is her who moves to you ?

will you like living in Canada, will she like Ireland ?

it can be done, but its uphill all the way

but my very best luck to you
( luck of the irish ? )

Long Distance

Its early stages i know we have only met infatuation maybe but we will have to find out and there is only one way to:

I am booking a flight tomorrow i know my family will think i am mad but if we were to become more i have lots of family in canada already and not much to hold me back even still if she wanted to come here she is more than welcome either way whatever makes this girl happy i know will make me happy.

Thanks
Any other advice or comments is more than welcome.

Buddy - you don't even know her.

are you that hard up that you can't find poon in Ireland.

What you are "In love" with is the thought - not the reality.

Check your emotions - and think with your head.
 

"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.

Rebounding again???

Last Friday you requested help in ending a 2 1/2 year relationship, one you got into on the rebound.

Now, a whole day later you met the woman of your dreams???

Minty, back up, reflect, learn, listen to the guys here.

Man this guy is like me.

Guess what.

Read all my recent posts. They are all about a long distance relationship gone bad.

It's really easy to idealize a girl you only see once every month at the most. You don't even realize she ****s like you do. (Damn I may finally be snapping out of this..., i better keep rolling).

I had a decision point at the beginning, if I had trusted my instincts I wouldn't have fallen for a girl that lived so far away. In the end I did anyways and have been torturing myself for the past 2 months since she decided to quit it (mainly because of the distance)
