"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.

Ok im seeing this girl tuesday in class who ive been dating and made the tragic mistake of telling her we would be exclusive. She is horrible at returning calls (2-3 days after i leave a message she will call) but she told me i was her first boyfriend....so im giving her a little slack. Im pretty sure she is interested, but losing interest...so ive devised a plan to get out of this asap without commiting relationship suicide.

On tue. i think im going to tell her, in person, that im only exclusive with girls ive had sex with (advice from amoka on this board) then ill say we can still date but id rather wait until your ready for sex before we are exclusive. She is a virgin (obviously), so this may present problems...however, i really dont give a F&#$ because i can go for other girls....

What do you think fellas? Id really like to get this girl more interested but i think the only other option is ignoring her....
 

"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.

active disinterest or playing hard to get often reaps desired results

I would NOT tell her that the only way you will be exclusive is if you are having sex with a girl. This will make you seem cold and shallow. Instead just tell her you aren't ready to settle down with anyone. Tell her that you like hanging out and you don't like to worry about the future and just like to have fun and live in the moment.

I personally think giving her that ultimatum is suicide.

Ya man i agree...i thought about it more and now i think that would only work with girls willing to have sex haha....or maybe not at all

So my new plan is just to ignore her...however she is quiet shy and never calls so maybe ill never hear from her...**** it im moving on
 

"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.

Ultinatums are never a good idea because they almost always yield the opposite of the desired result.

They are great for getting rid of women however :)

If she doesn't return your calls, you aren't going to get anywhere threatening her. She's already shown you how little you matter in her life. An interested woman would call back sooner. Or if she really was that busy,would make up for it when she was dating you.

I'd just tell her she doesn't seem that interested in you and maybe we shouldn't date if this is how she sees the relationship progressing. I don't think you will be losing anything[you can't lose what you never had].
