"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.

Love.

What do you think? Do you guys believe in love, or do you believe that love is just an emotion experienced when a person portrays qualities of a DJ and the other of an AFC. Thus, one person would feel in love. What do you guys think?


What do you guys think about sayin "I love you" to your LTR.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I definitely think it is something real. It loses credibility because people throw the word around so often, but I have seen people in true love.

Love is real. But you cant understand or even identify it untill you are older and more experienced. My paramiters for saying "I love you" are as follows:

-Minimum age of 18 (both parties)
-Have to have slept together enough times for sexual comfort zone to be reached (both parties)
-Minimum 1 season (~3 months) of dating
-Minimum 1 real fight/disagreement resolved
-You have to have slept together. Not sex, but actually fallen asleep together

These are all things Ive done with girls that I felt were truely important in understanding and connecting with them. Unfortunitely, Ive never done them all with the same girl (specifically the second and third points), so Ive never said the three words. And Im proud to admit ive never squandered the L word. Believe me, if you do, you will regret it.

You don't have to have sex for that comfort zone to be reached.

________________________________________________

love >noun
1 an intense feeling of deep affection.
2 a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone.
3 a great interest and pleasure in something.
4 a person or thing that one loves.
5 (in tennis, squash, etc.) a score of zero. [apparently from the phrase play for love (i.e. the love of the game, not for money).
________________________________________________

I do believe in love and have found the perfect love in myself. This is not defined above.

My thoughts on the definitions above:

1. Yes, I've experienced this and continue to do so with several women, but there is no attachment on my part. Thanks to learning the game and finding that I don't need any one woman.

2. Attachment leads to suffering. I no longer allow myself to be attached to anyone or anything. I take full responsibility for my happiness. Learned this from Buddhism and it's changed my life greatly.

3. through 5. probably don't apply to this discussion.

Nothing wrong with saying "I love you" to a woman, just make sure you pull her into your frame when you say it. Since men don't need to express feelings, I highly recommend that you let the woman say it first.
 

"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.

I would recommend saying those three little words scarcely so it would be more powerful. Just like compliments. If you say them all the time, they lose their power, but if you say them rarely and unpredictably then they have a high value. So I would say to just look at "I Love You" as like a compliment. Use it rarely. Also I would recommend to have her say it more than you do. Just like Tboner says to have her say it first. When she does say that she loves you, I wouldn't respond with "I love you too". It's too ordinary. It's not different. I think that it's almost AFC ish. Plus she wouldn't know if you like her or not. Instead I would make a C&F comment. (ex. Your not the only one.)
