"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.

My bed, your girl.
if you're absolutely sure she's blocked you, just ask her why.
don't try to do anything about it thought right away.

Woah, we have the same name. But anyways, how do you know she's blocked you, and if she really has, then freeze her out for awhile.

She wants you to save the conversation you were having with her over AIM for the dates your going on!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

aim is a horrible crutch for PUA's and should be avoided. Nothing beats personal conversation, and if that can't happen at least use the phone to get the inflection in the voice. Messangers are a terrible way to communicate. It's just 'chatting' not 'communicating'
