"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.

How do you handle the situation when a girl you're dating keeps rambling about her ex?

I sort of have a feeling people might tell me to just move on and next her but...
all girls have emotional baggage right? It seems like there's always an excuse to launch every girl I meet.
 

"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.

The answer to this is subtle, and you provided way too little information on the subject to make a proper judgement. For instance, I've had a 9 year long relationship from my 16th till my 25th, in which my ex former a lot of my personality. So yes, I do talk about her every now and then, since she is such a part of who I am.

However, if she keeps on rambling(like you said), there might be issues with it. Because rambling doesn't mean "mention it sometimes", but means "going on and on". And usually when she does that, it means she is not over him.

How long ago did they break up? How long did that relationship last? what kind of subjects come up when she talks about it?

These are all important. In the end, it is your call if you if you next her. But the fact you come here on a forum to talk ask about it, means she triggered your red flag system. And when that happens, it usually means you sack her and move on.

You drop her. She is not over her ex.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've been dating her for about 1 month. I won't go into the specifics since apparently it doesn't matter anymore...

I'll launch her, It's just a shame since It's rare for me to find someone I'm really attracted to. Ah well I'll man up.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

You need to grab your balls and dicipline your woman.

If she all of a sudden starts kicking the door of your car trying to make a dent are you going to let her do that? or are you going to tell her to stop and never do that again? Of course you're going to stop her duh! The same applies with anything else a woman does wrong to you.

Do you remember the look your dad gave you when you did something wrong when you were a kid? The stare that could cut through a wall. When a woman does something wrong to you that is what you do. Stare her down like you mean it, let her know in an affirmative fashion that you do not want her to do that ever again in your presence. No smiles, no bs, just you setting an expectation of respect towards yourself.

Guys now a days let women walk all over them. They never call them out on their misbehavior, they let themselves get disrespected and all just to be in the presence of a woman.

Women are wicked in their mind games and tests with you. She might not be over her ex or she just might be testing you to see how you react to her talking about her ex. Women like to play games you have to understand this. Don't try to reason with her or use logic because that won't work with women. Put your foot down and let her know you don' want to hear about her ex ever again in your presence and that's it.
For instance, I've had a 9 year long relationship from my 16th till my 25th, in which my ex former a lot of my personality. So yes, I do talk about her every now and then, since she is such a part of who I am.
Why don't you just cut off your balls and hand them over to your ex in a pink purse????

I can imagine it now you getting married one day and talking to your wife about your ex because "she is a part of who you are." You discovering a cure for cancer and thanking your ex because "she is a part of who you are." What kind of effeminate ********** is this???

This forum saddens me sometimes.

Why not just tell her that she is boring you? I did that to one ex once and it worked, she kept talking about loser ex's, rambling about some stupid **** they did once or whatever, at first I was ok (in my experience all women like to talk about their exes at first, and really make a point of diggin up info from you about your exes as well), but at some point it was just boring me, because it actually was a boring subject - I wasnt threathened, just bored.

So I told her. I also made fun of her, with some silly voice impersonations of her talking about them. It worked. She probably felt stupid.

What I´m saying is, if you are about to next her you might as well give it a shot at "disciplining" her. Can´t be worst the result.
