Always stay calm. You are a rock. You are her rock.
Be calm when she becomes emotional. All women are emotional to an extent. You can’t change it.
There is no point in even trying. But also, do not run away from the situation. This doesn’t work either and she’ll resent you for it.
What you must do is face her head-on like a MAN.

As human beings, we naturally ping off the people around us to dictate how we should behave (unless you’re drugged out of your mind or something haha).
The people you talk to are subconsciously looking at your behavior to let them know how THEY should behave.
Here is a handy guide on how to ask a girl out, yet save face for both of you if she isn’t interested:
Ask the girl the following: “Hey, I was wondering if you’d be free this ______ at ___ pm to get dinner with me?” Be extremely specific! Don’t say, “Are you free in the next decade?” or worse yet, “When are you free?”. It’s much better to say, “Are you free this Saturday at 6:30pm?”.
The shortening of attention span is a modern crisis. Life is being constantly adapted to be as efficient and as pleasurable as possible, and as a result, our attention spans are suffering.
You know your partner is the right one to marry when you love them, are willing to make sacrifices for their happiness, they are willing to make sacrifices for your happiness, and you have thoroughly and exhaustively discussed and considered the following list of items which frequently lead to marital strife and divorce.

When I was 10, I discovered The Three Musketeers: a swashbuckling tale about four inseparable friends living by the motto “all for one, one for all.” The book became an instant favorite – but not because of the wine, women, song or adventure.
What I actually enjoyed most was the camaraderie between the main characters. My family had just moved and I was really lonely; the idea of having loyal friends inspired me. I read the book and fantasized about having people to share my own adventures with.
“Punctuality strengthens and showcases your integrity as it reflects your ability to fulfill promises. When you commit to meeting someone at a specific time, it becomes a pledge. Failing to arrive at the agreed time, such as saying 8:00 but showing up at 8:15, implies a breach of that promise. Being punctual conveys to others that you are a person of your word.

After a decade of setting goals every year and never achieving them, here’s what finally clicked:
High performers are successful as a result of consistent action, not intense effort.
This single realization led me to a framework for building habits that has changed my life.
Working from home last year made me realize that at 27, I had no good habits and zero self-discipline.
I was going to bed after 3am and sleeping past noon.
I wasn’t working out consistently.
I was browsing Reddit and watching Netflix for up to 10 hours a day.
I wasn’t doing any of the work needed to build my business…
I hated myself. The more promises I broke, the more worthless I felt, and the louder the voice in my head became:
Why can’t I fix this?
Why am I so weak?
This is how my dreams die.
Some of us may have some anxiety or fear about aging into our older decades.
In my line of work as a medical doctor, I meet many folks who are in their 70s and 80s. All have varying levels of health and functioning. A few “exceptional” ones that stand out to me are happy, healthy, and highly functioning.
I started asking these individuals and couples for their “secrets” of aging well. These were their most common advice:
“Hey, how are you?”
“Busy.”
Ever had that conversation? Yeah, me too.
Some of us wear “busy” like a badge of honor, but this stems from misguided priorities. We think that being “busy” means we’re getting things done, living up to our potential, and on our way to success. This isn’t true. Your aim isn’t to be busy. Your aim is to be productive.
