"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.

This hasn't happened to me yet, but I think it would be a good idea to know the ideal answer if and when it does. Suppose you're out with a girl who hasn't asked to be exclusive yet, and you haven't heard her refer to you as her boyfriend yet. You meet up with one of her friends. Your girl introduces you by your name. Her friend says, "So you're (girl's name here) boyfriend, eh?"

Essentially, I want to hear suggestions for what the best "neutral" answer to this question is, i.e. one that doesn't say yes or no. So far, the best idea I have is "Actually, I'm her fiancee. We're getting married on the first day of spring :D". I like this answer, but if this scenario happens multiple times with the same girl, it would be nice to not say the same damn thing over and over again, you know?

Anyway, let's hear some suggestions!
 

"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.

hola amigo,
if you are of mature age (above 16) then u never ask a girl to go steady......if you have the symptoms of gf/bf like dates every weekend, talk on the phone a bunch etc, then you MUST assume yall are together and the best way the end the confusion is to introduce her as your gf one day.....but u must have given it enough time to be true, not 2 weeks of dates but maybe a month of talking = gf.

Mr. Larry

unless predeterminded that yall are not looking for a relationship then i would say:

"No, I work for an escort service."
that'll make a smile or two
 

"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.
