"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.

Whats a good way to walk up to a group of 2-4 girls sitting at a table at lunch, or maybe even between classes and get good vibes going? I searched but there was a bunch of results and none looked useful. Any tips?

I remember reading a post about someone using something like "When you first walked into the restruant, the light was hitting you at a 20 degree angle and i thought to myself... dam that girl looks pretty cute... and now that im standing/sitting beside you, I figured that.................. I figured that I was right." Im thinking about testing that out but to me... that kind of seems to me that to the group itl look as if you are chasing just one of the females, and that takes you out of being the prize and puts that one female as the prize.

All suggestions are helpful.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Wow... That is total AFC advice, IMO. That's great if you're trying to make her fall in love with you for the rest of your lives and then some. God knows I wouldn't use that to pick up some girl... *shudders*

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

It's clear by now that the "pick up line" you just learned is completely useless my friend. Instead of using garbage that you wouldn't normally allow to come out of your mouth, just use common sense and your surroundings.

For ex:
The 2-4 girls are all debating on whether Bush makes a good president or not. You just happen to walk by them and hear their conversation briefly so you might want to approach them and ask if you can join them because:

a) you've been wondering why Bush was such a big issue so you wanted to know the details behind WHY Bush is horrible
b) you're doing a report on how Bush has coped with different international issues
c) whatever that's government/Bush related, making sure you add ****y/funny, kino, etc.

I can't say for sure because there are too many scenarios, but simply put it this way; use your surroundings or the topic of the discussion and branch it all out from there.

2 - 4 girls probably won't be discussing bush. LMAO.
Politics are boring.
I like to network, like, if I know one of them then I'm jetset.
But I like to ask them a question, or something of the sort.
"Is that fish really all that good?"
Just learn how to make approaches, that's the easy part.
