"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.

I've been in a "unofficial relationship" a while now and i guess the only reason its not official is because she is moving over seas in a month. We'll probably never going to live in the same town again. It's been great. She is hot, into me and the sex is fantastic.

I think about her way too much and I am starting to think that when christmas comes around and she is out of my life, I am going to get a little depressed.

How can I protect my feelings at this point?
 

"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.

Yes. She's been talking about that she can't wait to see me again after her trip(a semester). And now she's invited me to take a vacation together before her trip.

Damn. Each time she is giving something of her self, I feel the need to do the same. Gotta learn to keep the power she gives me.

I feel more and more AFC as the relationship develops.


One other thing that has been bothering me is that she has a picture of her and her male friend hugging as her profile picture on Facebook. Maybe she is trying to make me jealous. Is that normal? I know I should'nt act like it bothers me, but it does. Kinda disrespectful, right?

Well, you're either together or you're not. If it's "unofficial" like you said, don't expect the things that come from being in a monogamous and committed relationship. You're making it out to be something it isn't, and that is bad news bears. You're upset over a facebook pic? Really? ...

Be happy with the time you spent together. Enjoy it for what it is, and really, 4 months isn't that long. Let her do her thing, you do your thing, and if something is for real between you guys, then you'll pick up where you left off.

Don't turn into a dramatic wuss and pretend there is something between you and her that isn't actually there. And from what you've said, this sounds fairly casual and non-committal, so don't wreck it with facebook nonsense.

I guess you're right, hansol. I should be happy with the time we spent together.

It's just too bad I don't have a back-up girl that I want to spend time with at the moment ^^
 

"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.

Ouch. :crackup:
Well, you really should have listened.
What else can you do? Learn and move on. She's not worth being bitter about. Consider yourself lucky it's over.
