"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.

how can you keep a relationship alive? not even been going out that long and theres already that odd silence when we talk on the phone.

should i just leave her a bit... because i hate when it gets like this and you feel like your being a ***** by calling her all the time with nothing to say.

should i carry on as if we were still single and dating. things seemed a lot better back then....:box:

at the moment im broke, she's broke so like going out and spending money for fun isn't really an option.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

You could talk to her about your relationship and see where its going.
Or go with what you think and see other women.

What makes you interested in one another aside from looks?

If your gut instinct is telling you that this relationship is going nowhere you should be the one to end it before she does.

But if its just telling you to try and liven things up by doing something different try that and see what happens.

You've already got an idea of what you could try to do and if you feel it would work go for it.

Get a Job. Use your mind to come up with some fun ideas to do with this girl. Even if it's walking the dog to the park. Atleast its something different.

Don't call her if you have nothing to talk about.
 

"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.

Some of us are not made for relationships. Especially at a young age you are 17 you should be sleeping with a new girl every week not locking yourself down. The realationship wont last so all you are doing is wasting time in a boring game. Do not feel pressure to be in a relationship just because it is what society expects. If you are bored you should not be monogamous, go out , experiment and enjoy your teens. There is plenty of time for boredom when you get married at 30 something.

its only natural that you get bored of the girl your with after a few months. Dump her, find a new girl. Dont be a ***** and just push it off.

It does not have to get boring. My relationship with my ex-girlfriend never got boring because I kept it fresh.

we broke up for another reason, we just weren't compatible. We drifted apart.

My current girlfriend and I always have fun and I try to keep it like we are still dating. My current girlfriend now goes to the gym with me and joined the swing club with me. We treat it as if we are dating. We put our best foot forward.

2 things.

why are you calling her all the time to talk about nothing?

and if you can't have a good relationship without having to spend money, maybe you need to find something that interests you that is free!
