After a week without sending email or sms what is the best email or sms opener? Do you just say hi, how are you? Its been a long time, how are you? Or are there better openers out there?
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.
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 could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
How about your reach down to your pants and find your balls and grab onto them because you need to remind yourself that if you want something in this life "you got to have balls and go after it". Forget about the stupid email or sms and give the girl a call already. While you are working slowly and methadocially, some other dude is going to get her or already got her.generalmarcuz said:After a week without sending email or sms what is the best email or sms opener?

We're assuming that he has her number. If he has it her number, it looks even more AFC that he doesn't use it.DJDamage said:How about your reach down to your pants and find your balls and grab onto them because you need to remind yourself that if you want something in this life "you got to have balls and go after it".

Even if he doesn't have her number, the real question is "why doesn't he have her number"?Francisco d'Anconia said:We're assuming that he has her number. If he has it her number, it looks even more AFC that he doesn't use it.
