"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.

She has become less affectionate. She still initiates it more than i do. But, she doesn't do the sweet things she used to do before. Like say romantic things or send me hot texts. I miss that...

I haven't been acting AFC to her... I do a lil bit of romantic things... so its not that i'm not putting effort into the relationship.

I use push-pull...

What's happening? :(

It a great relationship otherwise...
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

This is a normal thing that happens in relationships (most marriages too), things get routine, the fire slowly goes out.

Your the man in this relationship.
You need to initiate more.

Difficult to say because you've only given a couple lines of info.

I wouldn't be worried. On the other hand, I'd be worried if suddenly she started telling me she loves me very much all the time (something she never did before) and buys me gifts. :trouble:

Ducaro is right.

You have cause to be concerned when its an extreme behaviour change from the norm be it very bad or very good change.

In your situation it seems like the chick is still into you its just that she's becoming comfortable with the relationship so she seems to be relaxing now.

Heh heh its kind of funny though if you think about it and what I mean is when we men relax in a relationship and stop being ontop of things the chick starts to get bored and looks into trading us up but when a chick does this to most men they get worried and try to change themselves or fix the situation rather than trading the girl up for someone that acts as loving to them as their girl used to.

Not saying you have to trade her up or you should trade her up for getting comfortable its just an interesting observation that I had about how guys tend to put up with the same things tons of women would next us over.

be careful about this though ducaro. There is certain instances when this could change.

If she has seen you everyday for a certain period of time (say a year) then you disappear for almost a two or three weeks, then you show back up.

She could change her entire patterns by interrupting the entire pattern that has evolved over the time that you have been together.

It is all about patterns and how well you understand patterns that can make the difference.

I know my current girlfriend was getting used to me and then I disappeared for almost a week and the fire was almost put back immeadiately. Hour long sex sessions were back in our lives.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

search my picture thread in the AE forum. It will be entitled something like "Comic_Relief Pictures." If you would like to talk about what I look like, bump up that thread instead of taking over this thread. That would be much appreciative.

EDIT: Actually I will bump it and add some new pictures into it.

AND AFC Savior,

HAHA good one, but I don't care what anyone thinks about my girlfriend other than what I think. I believe that she looks good and that is all I need.

Tell her that HOTT new co-worker, friend of a friend, customer, whatever came on strong today. Say she was really good looking and asked for your number and to get drinks later tonight.

You declined to give it to her due to your current "relationship"

Nothing works like jealousy.

And if that doesn't work, either QQ or move on.
 

"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.

This is cruel and funny, at the same time!! It deserves a smiley face for it being funny :D, and a sad face for its cruelty. :(
