"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've always found these situations akward where a girl you are dating is introducing you to her best friend(s)...anyone have any tips for those situations? or things that you do to help break the ice?
 

"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.

Meeting and impressing best friend(s) of the girl will make you or break you. The girl will drop you like a fat **** if her friends say, "he's weird" or "he's kinda creepy".

Just be friendly. Introduce yourself and game the friend in a more subtle non-flirty way. Have fun with them also.

I disagree, if your girl is attracted to you she won't give a **** what her friends think. It might help a bit but don't try to view it as make-or-break.

Also, you don't have to be good friends with her friends or try to find contrived common ground. Much like her parents, you want to get along but have a reasonable distance between you and them.

true works both ways aswell there was a girl i was really into and she was the same i kept talking about her to a friend.
then we saw her and i was talking o her my friend mutters that she seems weird and she aint all that i basically cut it dead.
only to find out that this friend done this with every girl i ever met basically he was a hater.
 

"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.

im sure as fvck not liked by any of the friends/family of the girls i "date"... mostly because of the context of our relationships (MLTRs) to which they see me as the cause of them not being able to settle down...

On top of that, im typically stand-offish and a d!ckhead when they try to talk to me...

i don't think it hurts my game with them... this girl just told me yesturday that her sister always talks sh!t about me being a loser, ugly, womanizer, and how she's disappointed in her for falling for my "games"... blah blah... i said, "i don't date your s!utty sister so she doesn't have to like me."... then we fvcked!
