"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.

Ok, I am not sure if this is a problem for the rest of you but I would like some advice.

I am quite as it is and really don't tell my parents much of anything. Well, I have been known to pass up opportunities with girls because I didn't want to tell my parents.

I want to know how you guys overcame/overcome this anxiety and let your mom know who you are dating.

Also, what is the best piece of advice you can give to avoid LJBF?

"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.

I usually tell my parents that I went over to her house for a study group or something.. works pretty well.

Avoid being friended by not being her just her friend. All your actions should show that you are not her friend, but way more, and if she can't realize it, tough luck for her.

Parents were kids once too. I have found that my parents were actually happy when I went out or went to some girl's house. At least for me they felt that dating was a good thing.

Just be honest, it may seem awkward at first, but really parents are pretty much understanding. I was also nervous the first time I told my parents I went out with a girl, but I found that they really deal with a son's dating pretty well. Of course this is only me, but I don't think parents would get mad about it.

It seems that everyone here hit the nail right on the head. If you just tell them, I'm sure they would understand.

"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.

With my parents
My parents do not allow dating, so I simply do not tell them. Lying occasionally and "not telling the truth" a lot of the time really sucks, but what can you do. They're great otherwise, just really strict.

yea i kinda feel the same way... tho its really not a valid feeling. why would ur parents be mad ur dating? if anything it seems like ur dad at least would be proud of you. but as far as staying away from bein in ljbf mode the thing that works best for me is to try and make funny little ****y comments that have a slightly sexual connotation/ can be interpreted sexually because chicks never think sexually about someone who's just a friend.
