If You’re Arguing

You can use this routine if you’re arguing in R1. The goal is to redirect the girl’s energy somewhere else (don’t suggest she do the dishes).

Listen for a while, then stand up, silently walk up close to her, look straight into her eyes and say something like:

You look so beautiful when you’re angry

Before she can open her mouth—kiss her, pick her up, and carry her to bed

At the R1 stage, while your arguments haven’t yet become more serious, almost all misunderstandings can be solved in a similar way. It’s very difficult to argue with girls, especially when they’re emotional—it’s much easier to redirect their outburst than to try to logically prove anything.
