"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.

Hi,

I had a nice date Sat., kissed multiple times during date and near the end.

Then, as I was seeing the lady out the door she asked me to call her by stating "Call me?". I turned the tables on her and said she can also call me, that it is up to her to do that.

Now when a girl asks you to call her, should you do it or just wait and see if she calls you? This is after the first date.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Ugh ...

Classic catch-22 story.

She DJ'd you with the call me line.

You attempted to turn the tables but your repartee was strong enough.

I would have said something like, "do I look like Ma' Bell or something? I'll drop you a line if I've got time.

The call me line essentially makes you look whipped if you do call. So judging on what's has allegedly taken place do not call. Ignore her, she's expecting you to call her. Make her intiate contact.

As long as you don't call immediately after she said that you'll be fine.

Call in a few days, things will be OK. Trust me :)
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

call her. I mean what do you have to loose? She probably had a good time and wants to hear from you and go out again.

I don't really get why this one was up here.

Just say ok ill try. This makes her think that you have a busy schedule and makes her wonder whether or not your really going to call her.
