"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.

My gf broke up with me today. Last week i got her a $1500 Gucci watch for her birthday. Then today she talks about how for the past few months she has not been into me, and that we need time apart because she needs time to think. What kind of crap is this? Should i get back the watch?
 

"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.

Compare your feelings of her to the price and value of that watch.

Me being me? That much? Yes, I'd take it back. Regardless of my feelings of her.

WTF?

You can have a go at Othello's suggestion, but she has every right to keep it.

And read the DJ Bible.

damn, you gotta read the bible dude. NEVER buy a present that expensive, even if you are rich, and you are together for many years!!

well, but read the bible, the point will be that presents dont make any diference in the feelings in a relation, it will only make the girl feel more in control of you.
 

"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.

Yeah, unfortunately a gift is a gift and she 'should' be able to keep it. However it is interesting that she says that things haven't been right for months and you didn't pick up on that. Was the purpose of such a extravagant birthday gift to hopefully make things better?
