"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.

my opinion: She's basically saying that you will be completely cucked from the very start. :down:
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

With polyamory becoming more and more fashionable, a growing number of single mums and their respective baby daddies are almost certainly open to living as a throuple, something that was largely unheard of in mainstream culture even a decade ago

Life is often much sweeter than our knee-jerk reactions to external events dictate

Hi SW15,
In this Country after two years seeing her regularly,the Family Court could land you with Child Support payments until Kids are 16.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

What do you think "dating" means? You're not buying her or her son "candies" but you're actually estabilishing a rapport?
I mean you don't want to be the sugar daddy and that's your first on your list of boundaries

Raising another man's child can involve financial purchases. It can also involve time spent with another man's son or daughter.

Both are not good.

thats some BS right there
Hi Traveller,
There are even worse situations...A notorious example was of a Married Man who for some years,used to visit a Brisbane prostitute on a weekly basis...When he decided to stop this,she took him to Family Court,claiming a relationship existed between them...The Judge found in her favour (What Else) and he had to continue paying her for no service.
