"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.

im with a girl and about to enter a LTR but she keeps saying, she almost loves me; is going to fall in love with me soon

and at the time i felt the same about her too, but recently i dont really know how i feel about her

i was boredring on the love/one-itis thing

i've been with her for 2 months and i've seen her everyday and called her every night, i know i know, too much, but can't help it

i used to like her alot and felt like i was going to fall in love with this girl, but now i jsut feel nothing.

and i have no explanation for it, maybe shes giving me everythign i want too quickly or something,

shes an amazing girl and i want to be with her and i do want to fall in love with her, and i know i can't force myself

wtf is wrong with me???
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Why would you WANT to have oneitis?

What you feel is what you feel. Roll with it.

from my experience, if you have to question your feelings for her, then you probably don't really like her.

Seems like the case of "You're not into her that much."

Nothing wrong with this at all. If a woman can't keep a man from wondering around then she is the problem, not you.
 

"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.

hmm you see heres where i question things like this ...

if you are almost in love or about to fall in love = what does that mean?

for me , its all or nothing. i either am in love or i am not in love. i either am falling in love or i did fall in love or i did not fall in love at all.
OR
i fell in love but then i fell out of love and those feelings are gone.

I am in the same situation as you, except I've been with her for about 8 months.


I don't think there is anything wrong with you, especially since you guys have only been seeing eachother for 2 months. I can remember when I was with her for two months and I didn't even think about love or anything.

Just think about having a good time and forget about wheter you love her or not. I don't think I experienced love until maybe 6-7 months into the relationship.

Just have fun with it is my advice.

not all relationships are meant to lead to falling in love either.

Didn't think is was posible to fall in love with a fat hoe...............135 lbs maybe 140.......


EDIT: you konw who you are
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Attraction is not a choice.

She must be doing something to lower the level of attraction she can inspire in you.

I am in that position now, as well as in the past.

My advice would be to have fun with this girl. In my experience having a good time with the girl increased my interest for her, or at least made it clear.

I don't really have THE answer because LOVE is very complicated.

Nonetheless, I strongly recommend that you read:
http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16117

since you are in a LTR.


Also, if you really don't know how you feel about her, JUST LEAVE.

Stop all contact with her for a while (maybe go on a trip) and see if that affects you or not. If it affects you then you really do care about her. If not, then you don't.

Good Luck

thats normal. you want something until you get it. someday you will find a girl that you gonna want even when you get her. it took me few years to find one, but now its cool.
 

"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.

I know the feeling man...I've been in an LTR for the last 7 months and have felt my IL drop drastically a lot recently, and I considered moving on, but I figured we were so compatible that I couldn't just give up without trying something. This past weekend all the good feelings came back when we got all dressed up and went out to a nice dinner like we would when we first going out, and then came back to my place and watched the same tv shows that we watched when we first started talking. And I went crazy for her when I smelled her perfume cuz it was the same one she wore on our second date. All those old things, especially the perfume, seemed to cue the old feelings of being crazy about her. Plus we added some new activities to do together. She actually played xbox with me, and we mixed things up a bit in the bedroom.

My interest in her isn't as high as it was when we first started going out, and I'm not thinking about her as much as I used to, but I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her and we've reached a level of comfort with each other that is kind of nice.

My advice would be to try something to respark the interest. Try to do something that used to be exciting for the two of you or do something completely new that will be fun for both of you. It's easy for your interest to drop when you get into a boring routine, and transitioning from an exciting new relationship to a comfortable LTR where the excitement isn't quite as high is a bit difficult, but if you think this girl is worth it, try to do something before you write her off.

Here's my advice:

Sometime this week, surprise her with a date. Take her someplace fun and original. Don't tell her where you're going. It doesn't have to be expensive or fancy - it just has to be fun.

Why will this help?

I have been in quite a few long-term relationships, and I have found that one of the best things you can do to keep both you and the girl happy is to never let it go stale. In other words, always be dating her. Always play the ****y/funny. Always be teasing her, flirting with her, etc. It will raise both her interest level and yours. Keep the relationship fun and alive and you will BOTH stay happier for longer.

~Vibe~


EDIT: Guess Jackofalltrades touched on this already. Well yeah - I agree. :)

Good idea Vibe...spur of the moment dates are great. I remember one night when my gf and I just kind of randomly went out after doing hw, stopped at a random place to eat and decided to see a movie, it was one of our more fun dates.

It's so easy to stop doing fun stuff...it was especially easy for me cuz it didn't seem like my gf needed that kind of stuff...we stopped going out as much and doing exciting things and she was still all over me. But I quickly learned that doing different things was more for me, cuz I'd get bored kind of easily.

You are getting bored with her because you see her too often.

....or maybe the sex just isn't good.

Try this: Tell her how you feel about her and ask her how she feels about you. I believe the problem here is miscommunication.


Good luck!

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
