"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Are relationships worth it?

I commonly go to parties, see my best friend's girlfriends there. They'll be talking with other guys, which is fine. Except they'll be laying on some secluded bed in the far room of the house, cuddling, sometimes even making out. Not with their boyfriends of course, but some guy at the party. Commonly a good friend of the boyfriend.

Where is the honor and respect now days? I'm starting to think it's not even worth it to be in a relationship (I've been in one for over a year now) and maybe it's time to just go start nailing some sluts and not dating them.

Your thoughts?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Being in a relationship with the right woman is definitely worth it.

I understand the whole "slut"/"AW"/"non-slut" GF debacle, but alot of these girls were the ones who've only had sex with one guy, dress non-slutty, are in National Honor Society. These arn't the girls who I expected to do this ****! How can I trust any woman period after seeing this stuff repeatedly?

A suggest adjusting your qualification criteria.

How does a man know his woman is "right"? I cannot watch her night and day, nor do I care to. I have better things to do with my time.

But what am I supposed to believe? That my friends have girlfriends that do it, but mine doesn't?
 

"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.

No you shouldn't have to. But if worried that you'll need to with a particular woman do you really need to ask yourself if she's the right one? Now, if you feel that you need to ask yourself if you feel worried about that type of thing with all women, perhaps there's a need to look at yourself.

Your partner could be thinking the same thing as you. She could think its not worth it either.

Relationships (being her boyfriend or husband) no longer guaranty commitment and dedication from your woman, all it means is you are more financially and emotionally responsible for her than all other dudes she is F'ing..
