"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 was at a club tonight. At first I was having trouble breaking the ice with dancing. By the time I decide to get in there and dance, the dj chances the music to a different type of music. I dont know how to dance to this music so i decided i wouldnt dance. Now im just standing there like a ****. My boy goes over and bags this girl and starts talkin to her and ****. I was feeling her friend. My boy tells me to come dance with her but I wouldnt cause i didnt know how. The girls goes hes shy and just starts dancing and forgets about me. We are supposed to chill with these girls this weekend. How am i supposed to explain to her why I wasnt dancing? she saw me standing all night... I dont want her to think im AFC anyone got any tips on this? What do i tell her? damnnnn i seem like a pu@$y.

Drinking might have helped but i was driving that night.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You already screwed up.

If I was in your position, during your next date, I would say honestly that I was a bit shy last time, because it's not in my habits to talk to strangers every night. You come off as classy, and as long as you don't fùck up next time and everything goes smoothly, you're in.

tell her you don't know how to dance, so you didn't want to make a fool of yourself

also if you were observing her during that night, ask her to teach you some of her moves or just ask her to teach you how to dance :cool:

Who ****ing cares man. She doesn't, why do you? You didn't feel like dancing, so what? You gonna write the whole club a letter of apology? Just act as if nothing weird happened (it didn't!) and regame her as normal.

"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.

Heh I agree w tom, why not try and learn... not only will it show self-confidence, i bet you'd have a lot of fun, too (w the right approach)... plus clubs are so dark and smoky no one will care at all...

If I ever get caught in a situation where I'm not dancing, or not dancing well I'll always tell a girl: "I save my good moves for the bed."

What I've noticed is women absolutely love to dance. The chumps will sit or stand by while the women are up there dancing. Chumps figure it's better not to dance than make an idiot of themselves.

I've gone out and proved that women don't really care that much if a guy can dance or not. They just want somebody to dance with! Whether you can show off or not on the dance floor doesn't matter. What matters is that you don't care what others think, as long as you're having a good time. Women will notice a guy trying to dance more than a guy trying to look cool by sitting down. They'll think, "Wow, this guy is just out to have fun" and they'll be drawn to him so they can have fun too.

one thing i learnt is when a female teaches you somethin...it sticks in her head as a romantic moment....see most guyz try to emulate an image of the all knowing supreme being...thus cant own up to females on their short comings...ladiez are gettin tired of this shyt..a mean they fightin fo equal rights..giv em' a chance...they lov it when they think they in control..sneak in thru that son..
ama giv ya hint...if yu have the chance of gettin thoz lessons from her..do yo best to learn em''..another thing is spice her moves up with some of yours...y'all could even form a dance partnership str8 to yo sheets son...:D

aww and another thing...keep tha shy guy image on for a bit...but be exzplosive when yu get the chance...surprise her...
