"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

There is a need on this forum for some alternative views of the world ...here is a little different perspective hopefully it helps ...

'Most women want to know a man before becoming intimate with him. That often takes many more dates than three. If you find a woman you like and she wants to wait, you'd be a wise man to honor her wishes. Plus, you'd know that she's particular with whom she is intimate. Be a gentleman. Good partners are worth the wait.'
 

"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.

I'm glad I read the whole thread. I got a little scared when I saw the word "alternative".

True. I would say all women do.

Jean Valjean said:

I disagree.

There's no set number of dates for this to happen. I think you're assuming that there's no contact AT ALL between the dates.

Comfort happens when it happens. It's not like...

Date 1
Date 2
Date 3..."ok,I'm comfortable now. We can have sex".

I agree,but what about our wishes? Do we have a say-so here as well,or do we just follow her around until she decides?


It's her perrogative if she wants to wait...but she'll still expect us to try. She wouldn't look at us as men if we didn't.


We try. If she give a temporary no,we respect it...but we still try.

On this,I 100% agree.


Pretty decent post here.


I'll give you a rep point. Maybe it'll help to get you out of the "red". :D

Hey Weeze


Hope the pain is gone. I don't worry anymore about my ex squeeze. The thing is I am going to be alot more careful about falling again for anyone.
You have to filter and be sure its real before you give your heart away.

I take on a zen detached state so I have no problem with communicating as long as it is reciprocal. Last time we emailed was 15 days ago but I will send a happy TG message. The junk email stopped coming in so either he is on the list or she got tired of not getting any responses from me.




How is it going for you?
 

"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.

I find this a refreshing point of view. It seems like to many on here, if the girl is not drunkenly willing to put out the same night she meets you, she's not worth your time. I might think the opposite is more likely to be the case if you're looking for a quality woman. But of course it depends on what your goal is for the interaction.

It's going okay, ups and downs. Still haven't broken NC, nor has she. Been over 2 months now.

Think I just gotta let this one go, but I still think about breaking NC, the next step for us is walking down the isle.. so unless I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with this chick, I've gotta just lay my hand down and not break NC.

Life is tough.
