"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.

I've been about the game since I was young, and making new male friends (when most new people one meets are raw beta) is becoming very difficult. I socialise with them then something occurs where I feel the need to tell them this stuff and things turn sour from there. 9 times out of 10 they attempt to ridicule me about my views afterwards. Either that, or they're beta behaviour starts to become too annoying to bear. Many of the friends I grew up with (not all) I no longer speak to that often because they're lost in the chase for fanny or spend more time with their beta friends that I don't fit in with, no matter how hard I try to.

For years I've tried to keep communication open with many friends, but they never attempt to stay in contact with me so in the end I give up. When we were younger (up to 18) we were tight but since college has ended ppl have created new circles with ppl that are very AFC, and reflect their own personalities more.

Is this just me, or has anyone else noticed this happen once they began to understand game and so on?
 

"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.

Happens ALL the time. You outgrow your friends and need new ones. When you find them, lead by example. IF you are dating better than they do... if they ask, then tell. You've heard the old saying,"you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink?".... Well you CAN make him drink IF you salt his oats...
