"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.

So my girlfriend and I have officially been in a relationship for a year. We celebrated last weekend, it was all good but...

Her friends and her mom are (in a kind of half joke half truth kind of way) asking where´s the ring. I just ignored but in retrospective, I could´ve have said something smooth or handled it different. What would you do or how would you have handled it?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"Where's the ring?"

"Don't know. She hasn't bought me one yet."

Id just laugh it off and if asked seriously i'd explain that a year is too short a time to know someone.

The year is a milestone in relationships, after that first year things tend to change. Two years maybe... One year? no way.

I agree a year is too soon. Keep beating that pvssy up and enjoy it. Slap anyone that tells you to go spend a ton of money on a rock,
 

"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.

Good post :D I wouldn't by a ring until at least 2-3-4 years down the road. Then again, I'm in no rush to get married either :rolleyes:
