"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.

Should I invite her?

So I texted the chick from last night telling her I had a good time to which she replied "Me too! what time is your game?"I told her "2:30 on the soccer field" but I think I should have followed up with something like "you wanna come and watch?" I'm a little clumsy on the field and I don't get the ball passed to me very much because of my condition so I was worried that it might not look good. Am I better off asking anyway? I play flag football for a recreational league at my college.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Ah. So she showed....?
All that anxiety, wasted.
Work on your IDGAF mindset, eh?

I mean... inviting her doesn't really do anything for you. It's not like you're going to talk to her at the game. It sounds like it's only going to make you play worse if she's there - added pressure. Just play and enjoy yourself.

Tell her when/where it is and that she's welcome to come if she wants. Don't ask her if she wants to come though. You shouldn't care if she does/doesn't show up. You're there to play a game either way.

What you should be doing is asking her to meet up after your game. “Hey, lets get together after my game and go do so and so”.
 

“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.

What is your condition? I think perhaps we can help you more if we know what it is you're facing.

Well we "hung out" and she wasn't even in the mood to kiss me at the end. She kept asking me hard questions, and told me to "be honest with myself" at the end of the date. I don't know what's going on

I said some stupid things. I'm thinking about apoligizing to her for what I said

Your problems seem to distill down to a severe lack of confidence socially.

I used to be the most awkward person on the planet, never knowing what to say. Here's how I fixed myself:

I decided to engage in small-talk with strangers every single day. Nothing works better to calibrate yourself socially. Talk to men and women alike. Keep that up and you'll start seeing your confidence growing. Just ask people how they are, what time it is, how do they like the weather, simple things. 75% of people will respond to you favorably, 23% will be neutral, and about 2% will seem unfriendly.

You need to stop reacting to how people treat you and instead PROVIDE something to them. Be friendly and chat.

At the end of the date she told me to "be honest with myself." What could that mean?

She still hasn't responded and I can't stop thinking about it. I have a job interview at 1:30 and I can't even get myself in the shower. I just keep reading Doc Love articles. I'm so sick over this. It's all my fault
