"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Can you hang out with a girl too much when you are building comfort?

I have a friend that met a girl who works at a coffee shop. He seems to have hit it off with her and he goes in there about 3 or 4 times a week in order to chat with her.

She doesn't seem to mind his company and he likes chatting with her. I told him that he is interrupting her while she is working and he is being a little too clingy and AFC. He seems to think they are building rapport.

So is there a point in comfort building when hanging out with a girl almost every day is no longer seen by her as clingy?

I see other guys do this all the time. Visit girls they know who are working at coffee shops, juice bars, book stores etc.

So is this OK or should you always give her the gift of missing you?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

If he does not ask her out on dates, he'll easily end up in the friend/customer zone.

He can go there when he feels like drinking a coffee, but getting to know her is better done on dates when he has her undivided attention. Plus, you can't really kiss her at work.

Clingy is never good. What makes it worse is when you're not dating. Get a life, have some friends, get a hobby; don't make her existence the purpose of yours. Make the time that you do spend together special.

I'd visit her 3-5 times TOTAL before getting her # (or just inviting her somewhere specific). Less, if it's not a place you like to go to often.
