Or you could phone her and ask her if she'd be interested in going to (X) activity with you.

Texting is wimpy, anyone can text, and she knows that you have all the time in the world to say something that might appear to be interesting. If you just call the girl, there is no time for you to bullshit around, and she'll know that whatever you say hasn't been thought over a million times to make it seem perfect. The only excuse I can imagine for not calling is if you literally have no game whatsoever. Phoning someone is infinitely more personal than texting, you can pick out real emotion from a conversation over the phone because you're actually talking to someone. The guy in the video is correct, the woman you're after probably has ten men texting her constantly, be the one who actually phones her and you instantly stand out.

Another point that he tries to make in that video is how you need to make the conversation fun, calling someone is way more interesting than texting, it's a delicate balance that will reward you if done right. Half of the "fun" work is done for you if you can keep a conversation without being awkward. And it makes you look like you have a pair, a good conversation tells her that you're sharp as a tack.

I'm sure that you could still score a date if you're good at texting, but you're turning down a free advantage that is going to give you a leg up on the competition.

It hurt to see all those tears streaming down your face. But you're strong, and determined. You'll be fine. I know it.

Since now we act like we don't know each other at work but when we get to see each other after work I appreciate you so much more. I hate kissing but with you its much different. I love kissing you. I wish we can spend more time with each other. Then again I feel we shouldn't be continuing this especially if I want to stay at this store . ... what to do what to do...

I believe if you have to watch videos on how to talk/text to girls, then you have no hope of "seducing" them. It's pathetic man, in the words of nike "just do it". Practice makes perfect not youtube videos.

Getting parts in the mail that I've been waiting 2 weeks for. Coming home from work happier than a kitten under a leaky cow to finally put my car back together... to find they are all broken into pieces because "the lady at the post office said they'd be fine without any packing."


sigh ..

He was doing me a favour so I can't even be mad. I thanked him anyways and do appreciate him trying.. I just can't believe he wouldn't wrap the injectors up.. everyone knows the pintle caps are like glass and shatter if you look at them.

if I would have known I would've just bought a rebuild kit from the start and saved myself waiting a month.


I just wanna drive my car. I get really grumpy when its in pieces like this

Speaking of work, I'm going to be running a portion of the staff training/refresher/inservice in January.. Guess I've been around long enough to do something like that, lol. Nervous and pumped at the same time!

Really bothers the shit out of me when people say they'll do something and then don't do it.
i understand if something comes up, just be a grown up and say it, I don't give a shit.
Brushing it off and pretending that they didn't say it in the first place?
Seriously? Why even say it in the first place? I hate to sound like a whiny little bitch but stop saying shit you can't follow through on.

As someone who'd go the extra mile to keep my word, this really pisses me off.

I got her number today.

He's big on superheroes, so probably something related to that. Not sure though, might go car related (trying to be as vague as possible since he's on here lol)

New girlfriend has been great. Beautiful, nice to talk to, similar interests, and crazy high sex drive. It's been a month of good times now. The only thing is... she is still not over the dude she was casually banging a few weeks before we met. She tells me she doesn't talk to him anymore but I see on Instagram she is all over every one of his pictures, even the recent ones. So I looked at his followers list and didn't see her name in the mix. Yup, I guess she regularly searches him up manually just to send him little online hints that she still likes him. I'm not sure what gets me more, the fact that she lies to me, or the fact that she still likes him. Trying real hard to look at this objectively... maybe she's afraid of conflict.. maybe its hard for her to let go.. Fuck it. Nothing's ever perfect and thats okay.

How should I handle this situation? If I bring it up, then I'm an overly possessive creep (which is true but I don't exactly want to show that lol). If I just ignore it, it just stops me from feeling intimate with her. Really hope I could get some input from you guys...this shit is bugging me a lot

EDIT: Wow. Rereading this shit was hard. Cringeworthy.. I guess I'm in love, because this is such a trivial thing to get worked up about.

Best thing to do? Ignore it.

If you're going to do anything, be prepared to commit yourself fully or you come off as weak. That weakness is not attractive -- you never want to make a girl think you need her more than she needs you -- especially within the first couple months

What do i mean about committing yourself fully?
Giving her passive aggressive remarks about the guy / bringing up the guy in the midst of a fight = weak = not fully committing to your decision.
If her actions with the other guy bothers you that much, tell her in an adult manner and tell her you don't want to talk to her while she's still got feelings for him. After about a week of no-contact she'll come running back to you ... or be back with the other guy.


tl;dr -- leave it as it is, or confront it head on

Thanks man!! The road I've been taking has been just leaving it and looking past it. There's always this part of my brain that dwells on it every time I talk to her or see her, but no one ever said that relationships would be easy.

Thanks so much for the response. This shit was bugging me and I had to talk about it with someone, or else I would just lose sleep over it
