"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 was talking to this guy at work who gets laid 2-3 times a week. He is a Tom Leykis listener. And I asked him about how he dates women and this is what he told me

- call them up beginning of week
- never pick up your phone if a chick calls you on a friday and saturday unless you have something planned

I think also in addition:

- always setup your date on thursdays to make them think they aint good enough.

Opinions?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Are you saying contact them on Thursday for a date or go out with them on Thursday?

As for calling them in the beginning of the week, I can see the logic but I say call them whenever. Ever call a woman Friday afternoon for a get together the following Tuesday? It drives some women nuts. Plus, you don't always need to be completely scarce on Friday. Chat for a minute or two and then end the call because you have to get ready to go out for the evening. :up:
