"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.

Why do I feel like this? Is it only me?

Hi, I've been with a girl over the last 7 months and in the beginning of our relationship she told me some stories of her ex-boyfriends(so that she wouldn't hide anything from me). But I really got upset to hear those stories,even one involving an intercourse!! that really upset me and I feel bad to imagine her doing "that" with other guys! I'm still feeling bad! Is this normal? what should I do to get over this? sometimes I don't feel like being by her side cuz I remember what she told me and I can't stop thinkin' about that and I feel awful. ps: she's my first real girlfriend and I'm 23. am I so immature?
 

"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.

sounds more like insecure to tired to go in detail i'll leave that some one else... But you sound like a hardcore chump ytf does something that happened with her ex and somethign that she told you 7 months ago still affect you. Who cares what she did in her past, would you want someoen judging you based on your past and the fact that she was honesty with you. Doesn't make much sense sadly traits of the Average frustrated chump. Least you've come to the right oplace.

I completely understand your emotions, my friend. I remember my first "real" girlfriend and I went down the same path. I wanted an honest and open relationship with her, which lead to her telling me things that would completely turn my world upside down. I was never able to look at a woman the same way, again.

Not to scare you, but this also marked the beginning of the end in our relationship. It would start with the knowledge and it didn't help that I knew some of the people that she had been with, which only made it easier for me to imagine in her in such dirty positions with them. It made it even harder to look those people in the eye, knowing that they had slept with the girl that I was sleeping with in the past.

The knowledge turned into disgust and partial anger. I couldn't help but see my girlfriend as a complete *****.

The disgust turned into jealousy and more anger every time I saw her talking to anyone who wasn't me, even if she was talking to another woman! I envisioned her sleeping with everyone that she talked to.

The jealousy turned into arguments and over the top accusations as I'd play private investigator. When the arguments got really heated, I'd make sure that she knew that I thought she was a dirty tramp. Needless to say, she broke up with me three days before graduation. I bawled my eyes out like a little princess and found sosuave.net in the process.

Looking back, the relationship was single handedly the best learning experience that I ever had. I learned that more often then not, women have a dirty past that we really don't want to know. Then, curiosity strikes in and we ask anyway.

I've learned to avoid the subject, period. It's none of my business and I really don't want to know.

Besides, it's the past. You know, she would probably have nightmares too if you told her every dirty little secret about your past, but we can't change our past. Therefor, the past is irrelevant. Try to concentrate on what's happening right now.

Don't let it bother you so much. It's not as important as you let yourself think it is. Concentrate on the moment.

thanks

thanks guys. I know I'm acting like a chump, but sometimes it's kinda hard to control our feelings. At least I know I'm not the only guy who have gone through this.Thanks for the support and I'll consider what you've said. :)
