"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.

Age (33) is my biggest insecurity. I've read on the forum that some people takes age as an advantage. I would like to start this thread to get some outlook on this topic. I do it to know the "truth" to adjust accordingly.

Age factor spoiled some of my approaches and prevented probably 50% of shots I didn't take for example:

1. GIrl sent me very obvious IOIs. I approached, started to dance with her, She gave me "I am with friends **** test". I negged her and passed the test. After a while she was drilling for my age. I fenced off with yokes few times, She was persistent and I finally answered with some stupid "please validate me" body language -- I could feel repulsion I generated myself. She went to her friends immediately.

2. Age is alway in back of my head when I try to do day game approach. I alway try to asses girls age. Often I won't do it in time and do not approach because she passes by. Quite often I am not able to say whether she is in high-school or student and I do not approach.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Tell you what your age is irrelevant to most woman unless you are trying to date a teenybopper. Woman your age or a few years younger could care less until you make it obvious that it bothers you. Deal with your own insecurities and your age will not matter. I am 68 (no matter what my profile mistakenly says).. and if a woman I am interested in has issues with that, it is their problem not mine. If you have your sh*t together and can communicate in more that DJ talk your age should not even be a consideration....unless you are a true creeper hitting on teens. Then you have a whole different set of issues to be explored. Be appropriate for the age you are and you will do just fine. Trust me on this one. Good luck.
