"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 need help. I have no problem most of the time getting girls number. It's just I don't know what to do with them when I have them. I am too self concious and because of lack of experience, I am afraid that they will look down on me. Is there a natural order of things after you get a girls number? I am always afraid of being too needy and interested, so I act reserved and distance which of course never works. I am not a bad looking guy that lacks a personality I am just too self concious and inexperienced. So a confidence boost and advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I don't understand why you would think that the girls would look down on you.
Why would they do that? How is it that you have the confidence to approach a woman who you've never met before,risk rejection in asking for her number with no hesitation at all,but calling her up and suggesting getting together sometime frightens you? I don't get that one man. Look,just wait a day or two,and with the same confidence that you approached and asked for her number,simply ask her out. But DON'T say,"Do you wanna go out sometime?". That's lame. Let her know that you are going to such and such place,then invite her to come along. The impression you want her to get is that you ALREADY had plans to do something,that even before you met her,you were going to go to this place. And since you already had plans,you are just inviting her to come along. Oh,and one more thing. You should base your confidence on yourself as a person,not on whether some chick who you've never met before agreeing to a date with you.

Eliminate the fear and negative thinking. What are you afraid of? Afraid they won't like you? If your fear is in control then you won't get the chance to find out if they like you or not.

When people don't like you don't take it personally. Just accept everybody is different and some people get on better with others. A goth girl would more likely go for a goth guy even if the other non-Goth option was nicer, had better personality and had more money.


Instead of focusing on your bad points focus on your good points. Be more positive.


2 things for you to keep in mind
1 - Assume attraction. Check the link in my signature. You're assuming the worst.
2 - Be more positive. What you focus on expands. You think negatively of yourself so think more positive.

You are over analyzing yourself and worrying too much about you fvcking up. Just have fun, ask questions about the girl and whatever else.. Just enjoy being with her and have fun! That's all its about.
 

"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.
