"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Some women complain that I almost never initiate, yet they don't let more than 12 hours to a day without initiating themselves. How do you handle this, if it happens?

Whining and complaining, are always bad signs.

It means that she is the one pursuing. Good work and keep it up.

My response to that has always been "Hey babe. You know how busy I am with everything that I have going on in my busy life. Lets grab a drink _____ and I will make it up to you".
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Well, up to now it seems like you guys are divided. Some think it's a bad sign and low IL, some think it is a good thing. Seems interesting

she may be trying to wear you down. ..odds are, she's insecure. If you're initiating with her, you're likely not intiating with other plates.

She sounds like a headache to me. I mean, 12 hours? A man needs breathing room!

Also, the equal rights/feminism thing, comes to mind. She may be trying make things fair.o_O

Send her a random text every now and then to appease her if she had terrible insecurity.

It's easier to increase communication later on than it is to back off after youve blown her phone up....trust me....you're doing fine.

Who cares, let her be frustrated. NOW..... if she continues to *nag* about this, you know you have a girl with telephonitis or even worse; someone with low self-esteem who can't stand being alone for an hour.

Great way to weed out the lonelly girls.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I agree with the side that a highly interested woman will want to feel your presence. You are doing good. Don't conform to what she wants, but maybe up the communication a bit.

I translate those kind of texts as "I wish you were thinking about me a bit more", and this usually happens after things have gone on for a while. She is beginning to feel a deeper connection and wants to know that you care. Remember, a man's gift is his time. If she deserves more of it, there is nothing wrong with increasing the communication a little bit, or being a bit more responsive.

If this is a girl you want to keep around, you don't follow what she says, but maybe increase just a hair. Or throw her a random text. My lady still complains I don't respond enough as did my exwife.
If you don't care about this one, then just ignore and keep doing what your doing.

It is a tricky balancing act, no doubt...

Consider what she said, but make your OWN decision!

In my experience they will complain about you not initiating when their interest level has dropped.
Why would they be mad your ini

No they won't say a thing if you stopped initiating and their interest dropped.

BTW...

I tend to disregard/discount comments starting with 'you never'.

Her: You never chase me!:(

Him: Ok, I'll never do that, ever!:p

Her: That's not what I meant.:(

Him: Oh, a mystery now, could you ever be more cryptic?:p

Her: hmmmfff:(

Him: Steaks sound good right now, be ready @5pm.:cool:

:p
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Agree with Glass and Derby. You can over play it though and easily lose out to a lesser, that is willing to give her attention. What do you want out of it? Throw her a bone from time to time, preferably face time and strike a balance.

My gut feeling tells me to just watch her actions, as @MidnightCity said. A lot of these girls say they want me to contact them more, but never lose touch anyways and I can have sex or phone sexy and sexting with them almost on demand.

A lot of times, when they come up with this, I tell them "yeah yeah, don't worry, honey, you will soon find a nice, little guy who will call you all the time and you will leave him and come back to me" LOL it has gone to the point where I can make fun of them and they still stick around

DONT ever say anything like "well, you have my number too, it wouldnt kill you to hit me up first now and then"
Funny you mention this, as I just replied this to a chic last week, who claimed I ghosted her and it worked out beautifully. I was a little more "frank" or "blunt", borderline rude, but her response afterwards was a complete 180 and kept her in my frame. To a woman that is used to being blown up and has moderate interest, it can ramp it up.

This is good stuff. Just be sure that you are pulling some and not always pushing. I've overdone it quite a bit in the past myself and while it's amusing to me it also sucks missing out due to poor calibration, if you wanted to bust your nvtt off in her anyways.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
