@NeoSpartan Yea but I've honestly lost the rhythm when it comes to this. Sometimes when I'm feeling it, I am spontaneous as fuck. But most of the days, naaahhh.

Frame >> Maxing out body and looks

How do you compete with guys that have better social skills than you? I got a friend who's more spontaneous than me, so whenever we're talking to chicks he's got them laughing before I even have the chance to open my mouth. Key thing I've noticed is he doesn't care what he's saying. Its always a spontaneous joke. I wanna reach that level of not taking a conversation seriously which, as weird as it sounds, is a frame I have only when I have no pending work/things stressing me.

@justaskingstuff lol. I never wished dudes happy birthday and Christmas and shit. Fuck em.

And it usually left them just like you, wondering why. "Muh birfday and muh fillins"

Welcome to the power shift bruh. You'll stay on the bottom if you even bring it up..

@Typo-MAGAshiv Nah I won't even mention it. But what I mean is, this topic's going to come up eventually when she remembers she forgot(her family wished me). In that case the "Ohh its nothing, no worries" response doesn't work as well. Kinda says that I don't mind her walking all over me.

I gotta make sure to sound like I'm not hurt but at the same time it isn't the best move forgetting things about me.

What's a balanced response/frame to have?

@Typo-MAGAshiv Nah its actually 3 months.

I will check out that book @carnold03

Know for 3 months, dating 2. Ik I shouldn't care but you gotta keep em in line right? She should be invested enough to know shit like this. I think she did but am let down.

It shows she prolly isn't that into me. I'll try and next but some late night conversations gave me a small case of oneitis I guess.

@justaskingstuff

Hey all, girl I've been seeing for a month forgot about my birthday today. Don't normally give 2 shits about stuff like this but I gotta maintain my frame in a way so, not react to this but also let her know I don't tolerate shit like this.

When the 'soooo sorry I completely forgot' convo comes up, what do I say?

Reads like you do indeed give a turd, but let's be realistic. One month together? Get concerned about this when she's been with you a year. Just shrug as you say, "we've only been dating for a month," and move on. Don't say 'it's alright' or anything like that, just deflect, and move on. Thanksgiving is coming up, followed by Christmas. If this failure is significant to you, and she hasn't planned to at least exchange Christmas cards later, then you should be concerned and take whatever action you see fit.

In future though, consider investing in a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, also known as the late Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's mirrored on several sites and a podcast. While his media is a bit pricey, it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from, but I would also suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. If you've already found you'd like to read his book, save yourself a search and give this scribed link a gander.
