Broke up with ex in December, took time to recover but made most progress after going no contact. Fast forward to now and I've got a new HB7 that's really into me and we're starting to get really close. Already hooked up with her and I see this turning into a relationship down the road.....so why am I not happy? I don't understand it, this should be a good thing for me right?
"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.

When you look for a woman to make you feel happy, happiness will always elude you. We need to regard women as an adjunct to an already fulfilled life.

"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.
This Atom Smasher, ripped of my post haha jk
As he said man, no woman (or any person) can make you happy, you can't look for happiness in a relationship. A relationship with a girl is there so you can share the happiness you already own.
To be happy, you have to accomplish yourself: do what you love, have a passion and a goal in life, work hard and never give up. You can be everything you want, just do you best and good things will come by themselves.
Finally, dont' forget the commercial "don't worry, be happy"

I know, Im generally happy. I just meant regarding the relationship. Think my problem is i keep comparing her to my ex. Granted that I knew my ex for much longer so thats probably why I dont feel that connection yet. I also know my ex is having a hard time and down the line somewhere I feel she might wanna try to get back together....I'll probably be with the new girl.
