"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.

What do you reply when someone says no?

Not in the rejection way, but when they say it as tho messing about, and to put you on the spot?

E.g. Today i went to play pool. I asked for chalk and she straight said 'no'. She was messin, but said it seriously and i had nowt to say.
There were a few other people there so it felt stupid squirming, while i jus looked at her with a blank look.

The silence is really awkward and seemed to give the impression that i was a wiener.

Anyone got any witty replies for this on the spot situation?
 

"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.

1. She was bout 30
2. No sly look, just a laugh at me.

But any witty comebacks, you know, to shock them?

My mind is really blank, i need help.

You have two options.

1. Plow right through it like nothing happened.
2. Flip it to your advantage.

Seriously.

This is a test. She's trying to figure out who is in control. You, or her. Who is it?

You have only two requirements for this test. The first, is demonstrate control. The second, is don't EVER let on that it gets to you.

Control can come in two forms. The first is negative control. For you, indifference. You're a man. Plow through the "You can't have the chalk" bull**** like its fog without even blinking. No pause. Nothing. Walk to another table, all the way across the pool hall, pick up chalk, return. Small problems like missing chalk do not stop a man of action. Right?

Go on playing as if NOTHING has happened. MOST important here is to not give even the HINT that it bothered you. Continue the conversation in the same tone and make it clear that you've forgotten all about it. If asked, shrug. "I needed any chalk. Not YOUR chalk."

You are in control. You are playing pool. The fact the she is testing you doesn't even phase you much less stop your pool game or mess with your head. Whatever. Girls are always testing you. You're a man. Right? Moreover, you better win the damn pool game.

The second form is outright control. Positive control. If I was close enough to the girl and there'd been enough physicality already I'd spin her around to the wall give her a pair of good, firm, playful swats to the ass. Then I'd apply a BIG grin. "Naughty girls get spanked. I won't embarrass you anymore in public but you've got more coming later. Now, let's play pool."

Go back to playing pool. Ignore her indignant protests. If you played it right she loved every second of it and you laid the seed for a good spanking session later.

Don't bother with the chalk now, she paid for it, she can have it. No doubt about who controlled that. Right?

Better make the shot perfectly though.

There's always the option that either or both of these can go real bad. She pouts. She is wounded that her manipulative mechanism failed to end up in her favor. Freeze that right the hell out. Just keep going on like you don't even notice she's pouting. If it continues then you need to pull out the:

"Ok, I'm taking you home. Let's go."

Now, if she warms back up in the car (trying to avoid the consequences of the pouting) you are perfectly set for the "VERY serious" spanking. As you can tell I am a huge fan of the spanking tease.

Be careful with it though. That's battery in some states. Know your chick before you start the spanking gambit.
