"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

To me it seems there's more information on Interest Level when first meeting a girl. Not, so much for when in a relationship. So, I thought I'd share some things showing high Interest Level in a long-term relationship.

-She always calls you to hang out.
-She calls/text you wondering what your doing.
-She does whatever you want to do.
-She tells you she loves you first and when casually seeing you.
-She talks about future plans with you.
-She always wants to be by your side.
-She will offer to buy you something.
-She gets dressed up for you.
-She calls you to make sure you're ok.
-She tells good things about you around people.
-She cares about choices you make.
-She always wants you to go places with her.
-Asks for your opinion.
-Helps you do stuff / Do stuff for you.
-Takes care of you when needed.
-Compliments your looks.
-She communicates with you to solve a problem with the relationship.
-She respects your decisions
-She will stand up for you if needed.
-Is affectionate around you and other people. (Possible red flag if she is overly affectionate when she usually isn't.)
-Your sex life is great.
-She wants you to meet all her friends and family.
-She is happy to see you.
-She is in a good mood around you.

I'm sure the the list can go on. But, if your girlfriend of X months insn't doing these things. Or doing them less often; something is wrong. Always protect your heart in a LTR and don't be crushed by some girl. Watch her actions and see if they're genuine!
 

"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.

"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.

Yeah man my girl does most of this stuff too.

But I feel like we might be getting into the "routine" phase of being in a relationship.

Time to be spontaneous! Good post man.

Thanks LTR is my fav topic. (sigh)
I need to stop picking girls with divorced parents. I think that was my pattern.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

My girl doesn't so this, BUT she does these things:

-msn/nex/etc. she messages me first. Sometimes its as soon as i'm Online. Sometimes she talks to me like 10 mins after.
-she has a journal that she writes in everyday, about her day and things she thought about that day. She told me i'm in EVERY one of her entries...even though I'm not with her everyday...so she thinks about me lots.
-She drew me a portrait drawing of me and her...YES a portrait, a darn good one too. Shes very artistic. And this was 3 days after I asked her out and we were officially dating.

So yea...she does those things. I don't have a cell yet but she doesn't call my house phone much.

But I think the IL is starting to decrease...ideas for spicing it up?
I'm probally gonna make a thread in the HS forum.
