"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.
What do you do when LOVE gets in your way?

"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.

My very subtle point was that you need to make your question a bit clearer.Originally posted by aequitas

If it's getting "in the way," then it's not love.Originally posted by aequitas
Has love ever gotten in your way?
If it has, please be so kind as to explain how & what u did about it
I take it you mean when she says she loves you, but you can't reciprocate, and you can't see yourself ever doing so.
If that's the case, break up with her asap.
If you mean, you've fallen for her, but she doesn't love you, well... then go cold turkey and pursue other girls at once.
If instead you mean you're in love with each other, but you'd still like to bang other HBs, well... that's called being a guy.
And if it's love, not just the infatuation and lust that can consume you early in a relationship, well, then... well, you wouldn't be saying it's in the way, and you wouldn't be on this board.
so i was just interested to hear some of your stories about how "love" affected YOUR life(if it ever has).
hehe, well ya... i hope u get what i mean now
Laterz all....
Well, personally, I have been in love. In fact I just made the hard decision to dump a girl who continued (maybe even continues) to love me while I lost interest in her.
I don't think love can ever get in the way. That's why your question was humorous to me (and probably the others above). In my case, her continued love was making the relationship unbalanced. But, it's still a wonderfull thing. Pain because of love is the most beautiful kind of pain there is.
It's important to understand that if you're in love, you'll be your girls b!tch and she'll be yours. And, d@mn it, you'll like it!
It can't get in your way, because other women won't show up on your radar."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.
