"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.

Matched with a girl from tinder yesterday morning. Everything started out smooth. Had a lot of things in common etc. We eventually started talking about our love for food. I took that as an opportunity to ask her out on a date to get wings. She told me Sunday’s and Monday’s are her best days to hangout. I was at a cookout all day so I didn’t respond to her until after I left which was around 11pm and said let’s go out next Sunday. Now this is where things got weird.

She responded immediately asking if I wanted to meet at that moment. I jumped on that and said I can come to your apartment and she agreed. When I arrived I let her know that I was there. She asked me where I was and that she was “pulling up.” I told her I was out front and next thing I know she’s pulling up in her car behind me with Another woman in the front seat. This woman was not attractive at all and I’m pretty sure she was a tranny.

The girl I was actually trying to see was so focus trying to get me in her car and to close the door that it came off as very aggressive. She was basically screaming for me to close the door but something didn’t feel right. Like why do I need to get in your car when your apartment is right there. She then told me I can either close the door or get out. So I left and Uber my ass back home.

What is your guys take on this? I kinda felt like they were going to look me in the car and rob me or take me somewhere to get robbed. Maybe I’m just being paranoid??
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

98% chance they were going to take you to get mugged so they could buy drugs.
2% chance they wanted to see if you would be down for a threesome.

YeaI’m pretty sure they were trying to rob me. My spider senses were tingling. She was super bubbly and polite while we were talking on the app and was straight aggressive when we met. I’m certain that wasn’t her apartment either.

Also note; this is why you ALWAYS meet in public places. Don’t go over to anyone’s house you haven’t met because you don’t know who’s on the other side of that phone.

Yeah this is truly what a nightmare looks like. Expecting to have a fun time with a seemingly polite cute chick you clicked with online only to have her pull up with an extremely ugly tranny yelling at you to get in the car. I feel bad for op but it's a good story with a good lesson lol.

When she didnt show up alone that was the only red flag you needed to see. I would have bounced right then and there as smashing was not going to happen.
 

"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.

Smashing? The chick pulls her car in behind you...

has some dude/tranny in the car with her
is so aggressively trying to get you in the car with her and the dude,that she's basically yelling at and badgering you...
and is trying to get you to close the door,even though you're ALREADY AT the place you're supposed to be going...

Dude....smashing would have been the last thing on my mind. I'd gotten the hell outta there.

I think you are a being paranoid she just may have been in a hurry to drop the tranny off so she could fvck you so you may have missed out,but if she was rude I would have told her to fvck off oh and get a your own transportation so a chick does not have to pick you up (that's pretty beta dude)

Dude I think you need to learn how to read. Youre so Quick to call someone beta. I never said I was having her pick me up. I was already at her apartment(took an Uber) when she randomly said she was pulling up to me.

If she was in a hurry to drop her friend off, she could’ve easily said that from the beginning or when I approached the car. It smelt like a robbery to me and I trusted my gut. I rathered be paranoid then robbed.

Or shot.

You made the right decision.

Unfortunately,there's A LOT of people here who think that sleeping with a hot chick is the "BE ALL,END ALL OF EVERYTHING" and that's there nothing greater a man can accomplish in his life,so they'll put that above EVERYTHING.......above common sense,morals,a friend,brother,their dignity/self-respect....above everything....including their safety.

That's how it is. I say let them be.

If they're so desperate and entranced with sleeping with a hot chick that they ignore potential danger signs all around them,go for it.

It's their life....not mine.

Always go with your gut no matter what.
The gut is always right. It's your survival instinct and natural protective mechanism.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

So you got out the car then what? They just let you stand on the side of the road outside her supposed house and wait 5 mins for your uber to arrive? They speed off?

Can you give a bit more detail, did you speak to her or message her after? I would have called and asked WTF

And this is why I have a concealed weapon's permit they better be a good shot and get me on the first try (if they want to shoot me) because I guarantee I won't miss....another thing @ItsFate451 should have spoken up and asked what the fvck a tranny was doing in the car..I stand by my statement that he was paranoid (he knows deep down he was) that's why he posted about it.He needs to grow some guts and think with a clearer head in that situation or he will be in danger.

Yep. They sped off and turned on the street behind the apartment building. It was nice out and only took 5 min for my Uber to arrive so I wasn’t upset.

And we were communicating on tinder. She unmatched me 5 min after she sped off.

I never said I wasn’t paranoid. And I did “grow some guts” and got my ass out that car.
