"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 chick that I think is cute asked me out in the cafeteria tonight. I have only talked to her briefly a few times (in the cafeteria) and I approached her again tonight. Since we have not really had any long conversations, I figured I would not ask her out this time, but next time. As I was walking away, she called me back over and said..."Maybe we should go out sometime"

I am glad she asked and will go out with her, but I feel like such a Pu$$y that she beat me to it.

How many of you have had a girl ask them out?
 

"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 have several times, but always by women I don't find attractive who I flirted with anyway. I don't hesitate to close with women I find attractive, so they don't get a chance to ask me out :D

"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.

Reminds me of something that happened to my business partner a few days ago.

He was shopping for some things for his new place, and was being helped by a couple of people, one guy and one girl. He thought the girl was cute and was planning on going back in to ask her out.

Turns out her coworker (the guy) actually called him a few days later and told him the chick wanted him to give my biz partner her number.

Long story short- he thought it was in the bag since she seemed so interested, but she ended up blowing him off. Could it be because SHE had to take too much initiative in the beginning? Could be.....

All the time. Well, not really, but yeah, I do get asked out. I also get women to yell out profane words as I'm walking down the street. Their profane words are directed towards my sexy body. ;)

About 5 times in 19 years. Pretty weak but they were actually girls I didn't feel attracted to because of their initial high interest.
