"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.

I know I messed up on the texting. Anyway to salvage this?

Me: What are you up to tonight?

Her: Watching FGump and doing my taxes...I procrastinated.

Me: You should procrastinate some more and come out downtown. I'm doing mine tomorrow.

Her: I don't go out very much...especially not during the week. Have fun though!

Me:You'll be missing out on a terrible karoke performance, but you'll live. Are you free this weekend?

Her: I'll be home for Easter.

Me: Good luck with the Easter egg hunt. Lets grab a drink next weekend when you get back.

She never responded after that..What am I doing now?
 

"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.

pursue other women, maybe send a random restart text in a week or more. If she ignores that one, the number is dead.
Dont feel bad, i have a lot of number die, its like only 1 in 5 seems to amount to anything.

I went on a first date with a chick last week, had an excellent time, excellent make out session, and I can feel the number dying just a week later. It happens, learn and move on.

Cosign along with Greasy.....

The problem is she IS NOT interested. Nothing you can do.

I guess there is no harm in giving it one last shot. In general, what should I text next week without sounding needy?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

not sure on what to text, maybe some random callback humor from some other time you talked to her. You can search the restart text, there are a million ideas. Don't get you hopes up though, so far I have had 0% chance with this working on a chick with lower IL.

I think go ghost for a bit and try a restart text. Mntman's got the right Idea. Her interest may be there but its low. Get that hamster running.
