"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Depends on how good you look and dumb sht you may send that chicks respond to.OrokuSaki said:
Talking to two 24 yos. Another 37yo. Met one of the 24yos. going out with her again on Friday. The other one wants to meet. Seen multiple pics to my cell of both..as well as the other 37 yo who wanted to meet up for drinks. (Couldn't as was working)
Talked to and got the number of a midget chick too. lol. She's pretty cool. I've talked to chicks who were parapalegic on there different races..all kinds for the hell of it. Either stop talking to them as I get bored or I get their numbers, get bored and delete them.
Other dudes have met chicks off there.
Or is this "question" simply a thinly veiled "Attack" on those who use online dating as a side thing for the hell of it?
Yes most are low quality. But the few I keep talking to seem ok. Not expecting to find girlfriend or wife material online. No one should.

I have met up with some girls, not too bad, seemed normal but they wanted a relationship. Something I wasn't interested in at the time.

"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.

That does help lol, but its also what you say too, how you look, your profile, everything goes into it. Ive had tons of complements on my profile because its funny and light hearted. My picture are typical douchebag shirtless pictures(Which im not but portray it) and i look good, so for me it all comes together smoothly.HyperAnalyze said:
I can use hey, and get a response from an average, i use it on a hot chick not gonna happen, then i need to step it up, false disqualify then ask a question...it basically requires a response. or i just go direct, it depends on the girl and what im feeling.
You described online dating perfectly"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
