"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I know this sounds horribly shallow. But right now im dating a girl, albeit she is pretty. I see better looking girls every once in a while, and think to myself, it would be impossible for me to go exclusive with the girl im dating. The girl im dating has alot of good qualities, nice,funny, good in the sack,etc. Yet i just keep seeing better looking girls, for instance i saw this one girl in class twice, and i approached her the second time seeing her, turns out she had a bf. No biggie. Yet, as i was sitting waiting for class to end, it hit me that i'd completely forget about the girl i was dating if i was to hook up with the girl i approached. What is the solution? i wonder how people with average looking girls even get engaged.
 

"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.

Have you defined what you want in a woman? This isn't the same as just picking what you like in your current one, I mean being able to say (if you were single) "this is what I want in a woman." Without knowing this you will always wonder about a BBD because you'll have no idea when you're actually satisfied.

nope. Never really defined it. I have a pretty good idea of what it is though, and my definitions are pretty wide.

Therein lies your problem. It's like parents who take there kids out to get icecream to one of those shops that have 102 different flavors. Unless the kid knows what he wants before he gets there he's going to spend a half an hour just trying to decide which one he wants.

He'll walk up and down the counter four or five times before he'll even narrowed it down to the three or four that he wants. His folks are tired of waiting and just lets him pick three that he can take home in a cup. The trouble in your case is that the chance of you picking up three at one time is slim. Just go in having a good understanding what you want as apposed to just what you like.

Nice analogy.
 

"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.

I agree with Mav, nicely put.

Figure out what you what in a girl, but I won't lie, the thing about girls is that there will ALWAYS be another better. That's the best thing. ;)

Looks arent everything in a relationship. Maybe, you are not ready to settle down in a relationship yet. You should think about if you want a eclusive relationship or do you just want to meet n fvck all the HB's...

thats pretty normal. the "grass is always greener on the other side," when its really not. if your like me, I get pretty bored quickly. i then start looking elsewhere taking what i got for granted. It sort of sucks, you just have to realize that the girl you're dating has a lot of good qualities. however if the relationship starts getting sour and she starts treating you like dirt, then leave

The last sentence seems like you need to grow up.

The girl you are dating could be thinking the same thing as you. "I keep seeing better looking guys, how come I'm stuck with gimmy?"
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Girls in class eh? You must be pretty young. That's normal for a young guy with a healthy sex drive to constantly keep an eye on all the hotties running around. I have the same "problem", and I love it.

I was gonna ask how old are you? Given your comments about being shallow, I don't think you should waste your time settling down with some women that your not totally in to. You should be out there sowing your wild oats and spreading your seed.

I don't see anything wrong with you. I am the same way.

It is your choice and your choice only. If you don't want to be exclusive with anyone and know you can always get another hotter girl then why be exclusive with anyone?!

As they say in Scarface: "The world is yours."

You can do whatever you want .
