"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

A girl says "Do I know you?", what should you say?

Hello, I did a cold approach on a girl by saying "Hey, what've you been up to?" and she said "Do I know you?". Unfortunately, I got a little nervous and my emotions came out and I said "No, but I don't mind talking to strangers as I'm passing by". That allowed me to extend the approach for a little longer by asking about her tattoos. Then I found out she was getting married soon. I know I didn't give the best answer on the fly, and every so often I have women that ask me this "Do I know you?" question. What is the best answer to that question?
I liked using "What've you been up to?" better than "How're you doing" because the latter is friendlier and less specific, while the first one is an open-ended question. I know my openers aren't the best ones, but as long as I get past a minute of conversation with a stranger, people start to trust and accept me generally.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

you should say

"yes I get that alot, I do stunt work for Tom Cruise. What's your name?"
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

she said shes getting married so you can get away from her...
:lol: Actually, I was asking about her tattoos and one of them she said was a reference to her fiancee. I'm still waiting for that big jump in my game where I start improving, but I've been on such a big losing streak the past couple months. So, I'm trying to force myself out of my comfort zone and approach more.

I bet that even though she is engaged, if you pushed the right buttons you could still be tapping that a$$.

Not really, unless she was physically attracted to him. And plus she has a fiance. Not all women can get swoon by magic lines by "puas"

I got that vibe too. For now, I just want to try to get with single women. I'm inexperienced with all of this stuff(Still haven't got to kiss a girl on the lips yet). I'm not ready to try to steal fiancees and married women. lol

How old are you?
 

"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.

Reply 'Nope' then onto the next one.

Talk to another girl, better yet when she's still present.

How do you dress, are you overweight , skinny,
I'm not grossly overweight, but I'm not skinny either.. I'm a stocky build at 5'9 170. Recently, I've bought a couple form-fitting shirts when I'm out(American Eagle and Aeropostale), but prior to that, I would just wear jeans and a t-shirt.

That's why I hate those random "Hello!" openers.

I find it's better to actually talk to someone about something, rather than talk for the sake of talking.

For instance, if she has tattoos, you could have walked up and said "Whoa. That's a cool tattoo. When did you get that...blah blah blah."

It seems to open the door to a more normal conversation than asking a stranger "What have you been up to?"
 

"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'm pretty sure an inked up girl gets dudes starting convos about her artwork like 5-10 times a day.

So I don't know how that **** is gonna work for OP.

Yeah, I remember just saying Hey to random women when I was walking around campus and they seemed to think I was creepy. While, if I added something to it, things went much better. Yeah, but for a lot of women, I really don't know what to open them with if they're not wearing something interesting. So, generic openers ensue at times.
At Tyson: The tattoo topic opened her up much better than the opener. Also, this is Rural Tennessee. I can't remember the last time I've seen someone do a cold approach in the daytime here. So many people here are married by my age.

It's likely better than a random hello.

If a girl thinks you're attractive, she won't mind bullsh*tting her way through her 100th tattoo conversation of the day.

And if she doesn't think you're attractive, it won't matter how you open her.

You'll figure something out. I'm at a coffee shop right now, and there's a girl next to me playing on her phone. So what's a good opener....you could say "What kind of phone is that?" "Oh really? My friends forced me to get an iPhone, but I have no idea how to use....blah blah"

If it's hot outside, you talk about that. If it looks like rain, ask about that. If she looks Greek, ask her if she is. I mean, of course nothing is 100% guaranteed, but I'm sure you're smart enough to find something unique about people. And if there's nothing unique about her....f**k it...she's probably boring anyway.

You're swimming up hill running up on chicks that are not interested in you. One day sit in the mall where you could be seen, and see how many girls give you eye contact for 2 seconds

Ok, I'll try that out sometime. I just hope some women I would approach will give me eye contact in that situation. I've just been doing blind cold approaches and going after what I want.
