"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.

My parents went on vacation for about a week....I'm taking care of my parent's property and pet cats, fish and birds while they are gone....the problem I have is...my parents flight was delayed and my future wife and I have to catch a plane out of town to handle some wedding details in the bahammas...My parents are telling me that I have to stay until they get home because of the pets......I told them I have a neighbor who could watch them and they angrily said No...& told me that I don't care about them...after all they have done for me...They wouldn't flex at all..we kept going back and forth until I said ok...now, we'll be out of the money we paid for the tickets..and my fiancee's pissed...I'm 28 and she's 27.....After the wedding I'm moving out of the state and I'm wondering if their reaction is a result of the marriage and the move? What should I do? What do you think?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

First off you should have started this thread with...

Okay here's the situation, my parents went away on a weeks vacation! (mad fresh prince skills!)

but seriously....thats a bit of an overraction, if I was your fiance I would wonder about you and what sort of man you are at 28 that you could be guilted by your folks like that. I think you should go live your life with your new woman and let your parents get over it. The bible says honor thy mother and father, not be a slave to them. You haven't done them any dishonor. Go.

That's funny...(Fresh Prince)
I have all the DJ skills...but I went into this marriage thing blind...I didn't realize I'd have issues with the parents....Are there any rules....or any books someone can recommend in dealing with these type of situations?

There are products called DampRid- they make ones that have crystals which absorb the moisture. You can find them at Lowe's or Home Depot for about $20.

For the mold, you need a product that will kill it. White distilled vinegar is a great, natural, inexpensive way to kill mold, and to deodorize. The vinegar smell dissipates as it dries.

This is not India. You may never get your parents out of your life but you don't always have to do what they say.
 

"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.

at some point, with all due respect to parents and family, you have to become a tribal leader, and build your life the way you want to.. as long as you are being open to any positive advice.
