"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.

Would you break up with someone if your family didn't approve?

I've been dating this girl for almost a year now. My family doesn't like her at all. Every conversation with them turns into an argument about her. I feel really bad breaking it off with her because she's a sweet girl and she didn't do anything wrong. How should I handle this?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I feel for you dude, I had this exact same problem.

While what your family thinks is important, what YOU think is much more so. They dont spend as much time as you do with her. They dont know her like you do, so they aren't in a position to judge like you are.

Just make sure that you judge objectively, and do whats best FOR YOU.

I'm honestly tired of hearing it from them. I really think it would be best to end it now before it gets any further and she ends up gets more hurt down the road. She already knows there's tension with the family. I just have to figure out how to go about doing this in the least painful way possible, which is going to be hard.

What country are you from?

Why do they think such?

Is this for marriage?

Why does your family hate her? Are they seeing something you're not? Or are they just that way in general, and will hate anyone you are serious about?

How old are you and her?

In the long run it's your decision , not your family's. I am also curious about what this girl has done to piss off your family so badly.

What do your friends say? If they are telling you the same thing, then I'd seriously consider getting rid of her.

Had that once before, when I broke up with a gf and all my family and friends came out afterwards and said "I'm so glad you broke up with her..." My response was "Why the fvck didn't you tell me this before then?!?"

If you want to see the girl and your family don't like it, tell em to get fvcked, they don't control your life, you do. :yes:
 

"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.
