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.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

howdy lads

well, im basically in big trouble. i hooked up with my buddies ex, thinking it would be cool with him for two reasons. one, he broke it off with her, and two he has a new girlfriend. we didn't tell him right away because hes a really protective guy and we weren't sure how he would take it, but a loudmouthed retard (who i will be beating the everliving **** out of tommorow, btw) told him beforehand, so now he thinks i was trying to keep a secret from him and he says everyone knew before him.

this guy is my best mate, i've known him since i was 4. what do you guys think i should do? I as much as anyone am a staunch supporter of bros before hoes, but i don't know if dumping the girl will even solve the problem. what should i do, fellow djs?

and rest assured, i will dump the girl in a heartbeat if necessary

i seriously need input on this lads
 

"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.

i tried

it didn't solve anything

i mean in fairness he only just found out, so maybe i should give him a little time. mostly he was pissed because he found out from this other guy, not from me. he thinks (at least he says) that he doesn't think i would have told him and that everyone knew except him

Tell him to grow up? Honestly, my friends wouldn't ever give me that sh*t.

What are you to do? Appologize so he just does it again in a few weeks?

i didn't apologize either

basically i said that the reason i didn't say anything was because i had a feeling he would react like this and that he had no real right to be plssed off
 

"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.

The majority of guys out their are insecure emotionally.

You shouldnt of got with his ex. Now you have to take the consequences of your actions.

normally i wouldnt hook up with a friends ex, but in this case its different.

he dumped her because he no longer had ANY feeling for her, and he dumped her so that he could hook up with the girlfriend he has now.

so, since he had cut all ties with her, i figured it wouldn't bother him. guess i was wrong

I say ignore him. Don't let him get to you. He can taste the very feeling of powerlessness he fears so much.
