"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.

Something I've noticed a lot on this board is guys asking how to deal with relationships, in whatever capacity, they have with women. Oftentimes there are telltale signs of oneitis in the posts, "special flower syndrome" and all that.

Something that's been really effective for me in combating oneitis when I meet a cool girl that seems to like me is to remind myself that there is no real connection until you've had sex with the girl. You have no idea till then, and your chances of getting with the girl if you ALREADY have oneitis are usually miniscule.

The point of this, for skimmers, in all caps:

THERE IS NO CONNECTION UNTIL YOU HAVE MADE LOVE TO A GIRL, THEREFORE ONEITIS IS ALL IN YOUR OWN HEAD.

With oneitis, you're making up a connection with a girl that doesn't exist in her world until AFTER you've laid her.

That is all.
 

"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.

Good stuff bro.

I think many guys here find a great gal..then make some kinda mini dramatic soap opera type 'relationship' in their head about a woman.

WOW she has a great job, has a great body, is funny, awesome, and sweet....sometimes they do this all before even going on a date with the girl....so oneitits is inevitable because the fella has worked the girl up so high on that pedistal.

How about all these things are true...and she's just horrid in bed? hahaha...I like how you put it.

Waiting until after you lay her...the only prob is that most of my oneitis for a women comes out of me and is sprayed all over the girl's stomach or back..hahaa..:p

Awesome point. Sex is the perfect benchmark to find this "incredible connection" feeling, but it can occur before then too. Experience (and, if you're lucky, the girl too) will tell you when you cross that threshold. Until you know and trust yourself well enough to know you've hit this point, never assume anything before the lay.

Good for you. I think its awesome that a guy here will finally admit that sex is a powerful thing and will connect you to the other person in most cases. It is inevidable that you will feel something for the other person you've had sex with. Its just because sex is such an intimate thing. You can't deny it. Its invasive too. and when people are in invasive situations (not just sex, but with therapy, or when you go on a retreat, living together in close quarters, etc) you being to feel somewhat connected to these people because you're sharing such a part of yourself.

Ok i'm gonna stop now before i get too carried away.
 

"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.

Excellent point. I've been with my girlfriend for a month (dating longer than that) and we have an amazing connection; it's something I've never felt, even in my past very LTR. The craziest part is, we haven't had sex yet.
