"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.

So the girl I'm seeing now told me that she frequently visits her ex's house; however she doesn't really talk to her ex. I guess she's close with his parents and brothers. Should I even consider this to be a red flag? Comments/thoughts?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

A woman when she is with a man should only have one star in the night that she see's. That man. For your girlfriend to be still involved with her ex's family in my opinion is not a good thing.

There are some issue's that she can't let go of. Often a woman will be trying to get back at the ex by showing up constantly with his family. Becoming a constant irratant to that guy.

Maybe it's time for you two to sit down and talk about your relationship and where you both would like it to go.

Ok guys, let's back up a little. I have not committed to anything with her. I've only been seeing her for a few weeks. Frankly, I wouldn't care if she still hung out with her ex. A few years ago I would've been enraged, but I really couldn't give two shtts. This girl comes from a broken home and lives with her grandma, so I can see how she may want a surrogate family. If this interferes with my relationship with her though, she's gone.

At the early stage of a relationship, if there is one, don't expect her to be exclusive to you, especially if there is an ex lingering in the background.

Sorry, but it had to be said.

She told me he doesn't speak to her. So you're saying he nods to her and they fvck?

No. He is saying that she is lying to you about her not seeing him.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Of coarse there is something going on with those two. She cannot be close to his family without his approval. When the ex lurks in the background its always a bad thing. But if you just want to fvck her and not LTR then hey have fun.

Oh and by the way you can almost be certain that a chick that comes from a broken home and living with grandma has skeletons in her closets which will come out once you get to know her better.

That's not all we do, chief. I hit that s**t from all angles, including obtuse ones.
I'll f**k her on tape and send you a copy.
 

"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.

Really? Can you autograph it for me?


Seriously, I'm just going to keep it light and sexual only. I have no intentions about learning about her ex or her warped past. Unfortunately she's my only prospect right now b/c I haven't had time to socialize due to work/interviewing/the gym.

I'll be honest though, I have been putting some pressure on myself to start a relationship. I'm getting sick the dating process and I just want to relax for awhile. I know I should be qualifying tons of women but I just don't have the time right now to do so.

I hear you. I've been in the same situation. You gotta be careful, though. That's how you end up settling for the wrong woman.

When "relationship" is on the brain, you're very susceptible to ignoring the red flags the chick you're seeing is waving.

Good luck.
