<p>A consequence of game that is not often discussed in any sort of depth is an LTR, a Long Term Relationship. Most of us, lets be honest, are in this thing for short terms and one night stands, but every once and again you run across a girl that you may want to hold on to for six or eight months – maybe a few more. Its important to know how to run game in this situation and keep her interested. You may think that this is a pretty simple thing and you can just run your standard pick-up game day in and day out, but there are a lot of problems with this method.</p>
<div id="attachment_510" class="wp-caption aligncenter">
<p class="wp-caption-text">The first of many problems with running pick-up game in an LTR is simply the sheer amount of routines and kokologies that would require you to know and have ready. Do you really know that many cheesy magic tricks and stupid stories or one-liners? Yeah, didn’t think so. The next huge problem you run into is being <em>too alpha</em> and driving her away. Remember when I said you should convince her that her purpose in life is to fuck you until you’re a nice guy? If you’re always <em>Cock Diesel </em>with the alpha ramped up to 11, I doubt that’s ever going to be the case with Brittany – the cute Hooters waitress you hooked up with and now can’t get out of your head (cause you’re queer).</p>

<p class="wp-caption-text">Okay, not queer - but you be honest: You didn't bring this home.</p>

<p>Well never fear, my friends! I have an entire post for you today about avoiding the pitfalls of an LTR and how to run some solid LTR Game, retain your alpha cred, and still exhibit enough beta behavior (more on that later) without going over the top with it!</p>

<h2>The ABT’s of an LTR</h2>
<p>Have you ever had a sales job? I’ve had quite a few of them. In every single sales office that I’ve ever had the displeasure of working has had one thing in common: The ABC’s of Sales. Somewhere along the way, some sales person came up with this (I blame Zig Ziglar) and now every single job that is even remotely related to sales has a stupid poster on some wall somewhere in the office that says:</p>
<h3>The ABC’s of Sales: Always Be Closing</h3>
<p>Well, in LTR’s, there is also a simple rule to remember!</p>
<p><strong>ABT – A</strong>lways <strong>B</strong>e <strong>T</strong>easing. Always.</p>
<p>The one thing that will help keep your long term relationship alive, and keep you in check, is teasing. Most men want to slip into a comfortable beta zone where its all cuddles, foot ball games, and the occasional BJ. You can’t do this! The fastest way to make sure your relationship wont last and your woman will ultimately be unhappy with you is to go beta on her. The best way you can defend against going beta, and at the same time add spark and fun to your relationship, is by teasing her. Answer her shit tests with solid negs. Answer hypothetical questions with sarcasm. If she stumbles in public, feel free to point it out. You should <strong>Always Be Teasing</strong>.</p>
<h2>Fuck Her On The Table</h2>
<p>Another thing to keep in mind is your sex routine with a regular. Doggy Style 3 times a day, 7 days a week and quickly turn into Missionary, 2 times a week. One way to prevent this from happening is to change things up with your sex routine. Try different positions with your girl, send her dirty texts or pictures (at inopportune times, for bonus points), and – best of all – bang it out on the kitchen table every once in a while. One of the quickest and easiest ways to spice up a dulling sex life is to simply change the scenery. You’d be surprised how different doggy style in the bedroom is from bending her over the counter.</p>
<h2>Cuddling</h2>
<p>Seriously. Rarely, and not that often, try watching a movie with her, or taking her to a nice dinner. The goal is to ever so carefully let some beta behaviors slip in. The reason for this is so she can both feel comfortable around you (know that she’s got you and you wont run away) and to feel like she’s making progress in getting through that bad boy outer layer. Every girl out there wants an in control Alpha Male – but she wants him to be <em>her</em> in control alpha male. The key to making any successful relationship last a measurable length of time is to carefully mix the beta into the alpha.</p>
<h2>2:3 Rule</h2>
<p>The 2:3 rule is simply a ratio of beta to alpha characteristics. You’ve seen it before in my <a title="Text Game" href="https://pad.riot-os.org/s/B0tMQk6qG">text messaging guide</a> where I suggest that you text her twice for every three texts she sends you. Well, in a relationship, its very similar except not at all like that. In a relationship you want to watch your actions around her (don’t worry, eventually it becomes second nature) so that you’re giving her two displays of beta behavior for every 3 displays of alpha behavior.</p>
<p>Understand this isn’t scientific and you don’t have to measure it out. A lot of you guys who email me, your main problem is that you’re just over thinking it. Roughly, the goal is to outweigh the beta with Alpha, but not very significantly – if that makes sense. You want to be teasing her and blowing through shit tests more than you want to be cuddling and watching some shitty rom com. A good way to balance it out is to watch MMA or football while sitting on the couch near or next to her but without cuddling – you’re spending time together, but its doing something you want on your terms. Then, later, randomly pull her to you and cuddle for a bit during some shitty movie, but don’t cuddle the entire time.</p>
<p>Remember that in a relationship, it is <strong>you</strong> that controls the flow of things. As long as you keep that in mind, you should do well.</p>
<h2>Other Tips</h2>
<p>Don’t get her shit on her birthday/anniversaries/valentines – no fuck that. Getting her gifts on popular gift giving days is a terrible thing to do, and even blue pill takers advise against it. In fact, we’re going to rip off the only solid play they have. You know how girls love flowers with a note that says some bull shit like,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It’s not your birthday or our anniversary. It isn’t a holiday – but it is a special day. It may just be Wednesday, but every day with you is magical.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Do something like that. If you ever do get her a gift, get it for her on a random day with no significance. The key, though, is to not make a big deal out of it. Don’t write a note or poem, don’t do much of anything. Don’t wrap the gift and, if you can get away with it, toss it at her. ”Here.” – all you will ever need to say. Also, <strong>never, ever, ever say “I love you” – not even jokingly or in passing. Those words do something to a woman that is both unfair to her, and unfair to you. If she says it to you, the best thing you can do is smile, kiss her, and change the subject after a moment of staring in her eyes. But never repeat that shit back. Ever. You have been warned.</strong></p>
<p><em>That’s it! Those are the three best tips I can give you for managing an LTR. These are the three things that I focus on the most when I’m in a relationship and things always go well for me. If you feel I’ve left out something very important or think I’m wrong about everything, don’t be afraid to comment!
