"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.
A problem?

"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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"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.

I haven't really done a 'from the ground up' case in a while... I guess I'm feeling a bit generous.
Something to keep in mind if you do decide to talk to me though:
1. I don't bull****
2. I'm not the niciest guys you'll ever meet (see above)
Which means I'm going to give it to you straight.
Now, if you think you can handle that, you know where to find me.

I was just like you only a few months ago. I've been working on this stuff for about a year now, but it's picking up momentum lately, having gotten the number of a complete stranger today. So heed my words.
The problem is, you're approaching them like you want to marry them. You might not be thinking about this consciously (because that would be weird and lame), but in the back of your mind, the thought process is:
Boobs! -> Get Number -> Marriage.
Which is sad. The key thing i've learnt in the last few months is to just talk to them. They're human after all, and they speak your language. If they turn you away, so? They obviously aren't the kind of person you want to know anyway, so don't sweat it.
Also, no matter what you say, be confident in saying it. Even if she laughs and makes a funny look because what you said might not have been quite right (we all make mistakes in conversation; a bad pun here, a failed joke there), but just laugh it off. If you have to, claim she doesn't have a sense of humour.
Also, you mentioned the "Hi" "How are you?" "Good." "........." pattern. This is more common than you think. The important thing is to ask questions. Not like in "The 40 Year Old Virgin", where you say nothing but questions, but just simple things to keep the conversation flowing.
All in all, the main thing to remember is, there is absolutely no risk taken when you say Hi. No risk at all. Guys think there is risk involved; getting turned away. I see getting turned away as a filtering process. I'll make a mental note not to approach similar looking people again (demeanor wise; ie, perhaps they work at the same place, and carry themselves in a similar manner). It's very judgemental of me, but it takes the risk out of the whole activity.
Now i'll say it: Just do it. Girls aren't robots, they don't speak when spoken to exclusively. If you say hi, then the volleys begin, a short pause might give her a chance to ask something. Which shows interest. Go from there.
Syn.
edit: hahahahaha at the previous post. Have fun.
