"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.

Here's the dilemma...
I am 19, my girlfriend is 18. I am currently in college at Oklahoma University right now. She has anticipated on going to UT her whole life. Her parents both went to UT, 2 of her brothers went to UT, and 2 of her sisters went to UT.
I was the ******* that convinced her to go to OU.
She signed the papers to attend OU yesterday.
And today, we got in a huge fight. i don't see it working out at all. I'm going to try as hard as I can to make it work though.
What the hell do I do??
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I'm still looking
My theory?

She regrets her decision and is projecting it on you. You can't change how she feels. Time will tell with this one. If you try and make her feel better it will only push her away. Stay back from her for a bit.

There not enough info here to help you out.

You said that you two got into a fight today,but you didn't say about what.

Also,how is the history of the relationship;example:How long have you two been together? Have things been going well in the relationship up until the fight you two had today?


You can't just say,"I had a fight with my girlfriend. Help me".


You're telling us the outcome without going us any background.

It's hard to follow a movie when you walk in an hour and a half after it's already started.



Anyway,from what you have written,you've gotten yourself in a tight spot here. If basically this girl's whole family all went to UT,then she's going to want to go too. And it has nothing to do with the school itself,but to be a part of the tradition her family has with the school.


This could have the potential of breaking the relationship apart because to her "EMOTIONALLY" it's like separating her from her family.
And that's a losing battle.


That's why more info is needed from you.

It'd be hard to believe that everything was going fine and well with you two,then when this school situation came up,now everything is on the rocks.

that is seriously all I read.

dude you are in the most important phase of your life. What you do for the next 5-10 years is what is going to determine how the rest of your life is going to play out.

she wants to play, you are probably going to college, go fvck some skanks and get plastered and leave this one and let her do her thing.
 

"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.
