"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I share with you a lesson.

I always subscribed to the understanding that relationships were hard. Thus I put up with a lot of junk because thats 'what you do in a relationship'.

Thanks to some great posters on this site I am learning that relationships are not hard. Life is hard yes. Thats why you should not add to the difficulty with the wrong persons for you. With the right persons, life will still be hard, but you are in it together, as happy as can be in that particular moment and circumstances and working towards a better to-morrow.

Heed thee well my friends!
 

"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.

you got it man. life is hard enough without toxic people in your life sapping your energy. unfortunately now a days it seems most people are out for themselves.

anyway, what will blow your mind is one day when you've got a lot of it all figured out you'll find out that LIFE is pretty easy also.

hehe.

but it takes some time to figure life out enough to the point where it gets easy.

im getting there, but not there yet :)

What make "relationships" hard are

1- Bad choice of partner (long post to describe a bad choice as it doesn’t necessary means choosing a “bad woman”, but more of choosing somebody that is incompatible with you)

2- The fact that we must compromise some things. After all, we are all different, so in order to find a balance in a relationship we must compromise some things. There is no way around that. And that on itself is a little hard.

However, as long as BOTH people compromise…and as long as BOTH are not compromising issues as they relate to values/morals/self-respect…then things tend to be alright (assuming you pick the right partner).

I like your positive outlook. However, don’t kid yourself into thinking that having a successful relationship does not require some level of effort. But success starts with having a positive outlook at things. And based on this thread...you are already there.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
