"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.

ASk yourself this question.. would you go out on a date with you? The first thing you have to do, before you can get a woman in bed is have her be attracted to you, but she cannot become attracted to you until she is first, interested in you. For her to become interested in you, you have to be interesting


Are you interesting?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Great point..however careful not to only speak of yourself. Hold yourself to a higher standard and remember the quote..."the best way to be interesting, is to be interested in others." Find the girl's hot buttons, ie: the subjects you will hear her mention more than once, and pry into them, speak with enthusiasm, and excitement, ask open-ended questions, show tacit agreement, phrases like "that's interesting". Imagine if someone was genuinely interested in something you cared deeply about, I guarantee in your eyes it'd raise her up a notch or two on the hb scale, same principle applies to the girl.
