"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.

So this situation has happened to me twice so far and I'm not sure what the deal is with it.

I don't eat seafood yet two dates previously have tried to barter\force me to eat sea food. Is it a power thing on their end?

1st situation: Eat this oyster and I'll give you head. Needless to say I did eat it.
2nd situation: Eat this crab and I'll give you a massage. I declined.

So what's the deal with this? Am I simply looking into this too much?

Wow, I find this interesting but I don't have an answer for you. I think we would need moe information about the particulars of each situation and whether or not the conversations were playful or not.

Try painting the picture a little more so we can give informed opinions.

Not really sure how to paint a better picture but with both girls I was a total sucker. Both situations took place at nice expensive restaurants. They generally held all of the power.

A part of me thinks they were just testing how much control they can really have over me? As bad as that sounds...

They were dead serious as far as I could tell. I felt a wtf\upset\shocked vibe from the second girl when I said no. (haven't really said that to her before)...

Yeah. It's just seafood, and she's probably just horny.
Take it as a joke and tease her about it.
 

"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.

I find it odd I find myself in the exact same situation twice.

Nah, I think it's cool, you get back more than you give don't you? And yes seafood IS delicious.

Maybe the lesson to take away here is that we should all pretend to hate seafood.
