"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've been in an LTR with this chick for about 4 months. Its been great fun and she is really attached to me. We head off to the same University in about a month. She tells me jokingly that i'm going to be looking like **** purposely so other girls don't like me (sample of her attachment).

Anyways today at a coffee shop she comments she loves the music playing. She gets up and talks to the cashier who plays the music about their similar taste in music for about 15 mins while I sit on the couch, alone.

Then tonight she says she noticed how we aren't similar in books and music. She said like today in the coffee shop she couldn't communicate or talk to me about stuff she likes. She basically thinks we are different and she has a hard time effectifvely communicating with me. I kinda console her with some BS about how differences are benefits in a relationship. Then afterwards she is all happy again.

I think I need to break it off tomorrow with the excuse that we aren't common .

Suggestions?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Sounds to me like there's no reason to next her. Everybody is going to have differences and things they don't hold in common - if you get rid of every girl you meet who doesn't share all of your own interests you'll die an old lonely man.

I'd recommend that you visit the following link and pay special attention to the section entitled "conversation". Give some of the advice a shot and see if things improve.

I'm sensing a low interest level from her..

Can you tell us more about your relationship? Maybe she's trying to get rid of you and is looking for excuses, or maybe I'm completely wrong - but elaborate.

from my point of view it sounds like a test of sorts , I'm not sure why...hmmmm...no don't next her though, 4 months is a good time so you obviously dig each other.

I personally would not worry about this little accident too much... but maybe in the future you should try to pay more attention to her interests... try to understand why she likes a certain movie or book and talk with her about it... even when you are not into it that much!

And - very important in my opinion - try to read her actions! Is she still calling you as often as before, meeting you, kissing you, etc., or has something changed in your relationship within the last days? A lack of interest in you would be the only reason why you should dump her, but not just because you can't talk about books with her very well... hope this helps.
 

"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.

She commented on how her previous boyfriends and her had similar interests in music and books, and that we don't have this.

She says she can't even keep up a conversation with me, but in my opinion our conversations are interesting and deep and fun. She thinks our relationship is purely physical. Anyways I think i'm going to dump her.
