"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.

Generally use approach but re-working OLD game since Covid hysteria.

Set up a date with a girl to hike. She flaked a little while ago but said she want to stay in touch and sent Instagram handle.

I only have one plate spinning right now so I’m looking to find one/two more.

My instinct is to send my IG handle in a reply, tomorrow. If she follows then I’ll follow back. And try and set up a first date next week. Otherwise, NEXT.

That said, any other thoughts on a brief reply to pass what I suspect is sh!t test #1?

"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's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

If she’s casually seeing someone why is she on an OLD app? How long were you talking to her for? She was probably only seeking validation the entire time or waiting for someone with an extremely higher SMV than whoever she’s currently seeing.

Should not matter to you.

Continue gaming and approaching new women.
For me, who doesn't exactly look like a model, the numbers game works the best.

The best women for you will make it easy.

Disregard the bullsh!t.. Pursue, not chase.

You made your move. Either she plays ball or you find someone else to play with. Leave your ego behind.

The focus is on YOU and the growth of YOUR game.

Contrary to other folks, who will say drop her.

Check out her ig, see if she's even worth any effort. Ping her if you see anything interesting in her profile.

For me, two flakes no counter offer and I block.

Keep spinning.

She literally said to your face "I have something more interesting going on, but I'd love to keep you orbiting me so maybe someday I can give you something in return - maybe".
Don't take this bull****, it's better be alone with no plates to spin that spending time and attention on a girl like this.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

She is literally asking you to settle for being plan b.

Next.

Is there any downside to reply with "Wish you luck with your other guy. If it doesn't work out, hit me up"? Then just leave it at that. She probably won't contact you.

I think its bullshyt if a girl flakes with no counter offer. I don't bother pursuing at that point. Also, I find it odd that she is flaking on you while also asking you to do something. Perhaps this is putting you into her frame.

If half of the people who made these kind of posts knew this and followed it , many in the dating business would be out of business. Can’t agree more.

Why would anyone on this forum accept her invitation to become an orbiter just to boost her sense of worth?
Men, don't enable this kind of BS behavior. That's why we have these entitled fatties thinking they're Madonna in her prime.
Remember, your most valuable currency is your attention.
She asks if she can use you, how do you respond to that? By not giving her your attention.

Bro. Have more self respect . We told you what you need to do. Delete/block and move on. There must be more women you can pursue?

Second place is first loser.

OP, you ranked out. Your consolation prize is be in the friendzone or be her new e-orbiter. Dude don't be a simp. She could easily be trying to get you to subscribe to her OnlyFans. She's happy with your attention as long as your dik and your body ain't within a 5 mile radius of her!

When a woman flakes out on me, I ignore and delete. Block as well if she's just an AW. Treat all women like fans. Everybody say it with me: Treat her like a star, she'll treat you like a fan.

Seriously, why would you want to be her new e-orbiter? Or her new fan? Or her gay best friend? You wanna be her emotional tampon after I take her ass into chambers and give her a stiff punishment? Lower your standards if you want to, but this one's dead in the water. Aren't there other women you can talk to? Move on.

And have some self respect about yourself. This is no sh*t test. This is disinterest featuring relegation to a beta simp role. I'll grant you Nolle Prosequi. Means do not follow. Not on IG, FB, SC, none of that. Judge nismo's orders.

Case closed. Leave my court so this girl can start sucking my dik.

It all goes back to that old two strikes rule on Sosuave. Relevant to this day imo.

I've found that the only way to internalize abundance is to consistently be approaching other women. Like 10 a week absolute minimum. If you don't do that, you're going to start getting hung up on individual chicks.
 

"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.
