Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

There's no right way for anyone to 'save this guy'. Not even himself. Who's to say whether he'll have a better life overall as a single guy trying to make up for some idea of lost time or as a husband trying to make his marriage work not unlike most husbands.

This site is great for getting a multitude of perspectives in one spot that should provoke one's own process of introspection.

Unfortunately, my experience has been that the trapped or rutt situation in an LTR can be tough to stay out of. It seems like each time you fall into it, it gets even deeper and wider, such that it becomes easier and easier to fall back into it after climbing to get out. The upshot is you can get better at climbing out...
 

"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.
