"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.

Hi Guys,
I've been reading game and masculine self-improvement stuff for years. I've got the online business, spent three years travelling the world, got a strong body from working out, and a good library of solid books...

I read and experimented with some game back in 2007, met a great girl and in a hurry got married a short while later.

Now in 2015, the desire is gone from the relationship and I'm looking to get back into the game. Still living with wifey but want to put on my training wheels and see how the world looks now I'm 37 and with a head full of grey hair!

I live in a country where I don't speak the language beyond 'hello' and 'thank you' so that adds to the difficulties a little.

I read a The Rational Male over Christmas and decided its time to actually reach out to the guys here to help grow a bit of backbone in this area of life.

Will be studying the DJ Bible next and putting it in to practice. I'll let you know how I get on, and sending you salutations from Prague in the Czech Republic!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I always encourage fields reports from guys over 30 as we share experience .
Czech women are very nice compared to here in north america , I think if you learn some language you will be able to get women.
Keep us posted
 

"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.
