"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.

Hey guys,

There's a cute girl who works at a supermarket where I buy my lunch daily and I'm thinking of asking for her number. The only problem is I'm not exactly sure how to do it without coming across as a chump :).

I'm not entirely sure how she would respond either. I've caught her looking at me once or twice and she quickly looks away when I look at her.

I was thinking of just being quite upfront about it all and saying 'hey, I wouldn't usually do this but how'd you like to come out for a drink with me?'.

It's not like I can have a proper conversation with her because obviously she has to serve customers. How would you guys approach this?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Never apologize for speaking to a female, your "I wouldn't usually do this" is an apology and it makes you come across as whimpy and loserish...

I find it pathetic to just ask a girl out without knowing anything about them. You basically are saying, "I want to have sex with you" and you fail to even let the girl rationalize you might be interested in something else. She has not spoken to you so you can't be into her personality or her values or anything else, so right away she's guaging you physically. If she finds you 'hot' then you probably will be successful, but if she's not attracted its an instant crash and burn bro...

I'd recommend getting in her line next time you see her, make a quick little joke or something and get her laughing then get her name and then just exit. This builds a little mystery as she'll wonder when is the next time she'll see you and if that convo. had anything to do with you being attracted to her or are you just that type of guy ?? Muaha..

Also, I'd suggest asking her when she gets off on break so you can chill that exact day, no one has probably asked her out that way before. Spend about 30 minutes with quick high value chit-chat and that'll put you in excellent position for drinks later on bro...

PS
DO NOT ask her out for drinks first time out bro... that's stalkerish

yea I was kinda thinking the same as you tbh.. it's just quite hard to get a convo going when there are other people queueing. Anyway I'll see what I can do

cod3r,

every time we approach, the only thing that we're saying is "i want to fvck you!" (exclamation point optional)

you say that it's pathetic to apologize for approaching a girl and yet you would apologize for that last bit - THE REASON WE ARE APPROACHING IN THE FIRST PLACE! incongruous.

i agree that we shouldn't APPEAR to be saying just that- TO THEM (read: lie through your motherfvcking teeth) ... although most girls should understand the subtext if they're attractive and over a nominal age.

but come on... if it wasn't for the fact that we see them and want to fvck them, none of this other stuff is anything at all. we wouldn't care what they thought, what they said, how many homes they put up for habitat for humanity, how many kids they saved from a fire, blah blah motherfvcking blah.

we approach to fvck. make no mistake.

"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.
