"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.

the last two numbers i received through cold approaching both turned out to be flakes. in both situations, i chatted no more than a few minutes because my time is limited during my lunch breaks. i called both up, got their voicemails, and left a message the first time. never leave a message the 2nd call (which is the next day after the first call). i then skip a day and called a third time. left a message w/ both and said, "what's happening this is john, just got out of school, work, etc.. this is the last time i'm going to call... but if you want to chat, ring me @ 555.5555" (i'm aware of voice tone and don't say it in a negative way; in fact, i've had girls call me back w/ this routine)

would the following two help prevent flaking?
*chatting for prolonged period, maybe five minutes or so, aiming for rapport
*how about email? david d. stresses this in his ebook and advanced although i've always shoot for #'s. maybe i should give email a try instead?
 

"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.

Rapport, rapport, rapport. I don't know where you're meeting these girls but I assume by "Cold Approaches" you mean on the street, at the mall, or the subway or something. If we're on the same page you have to remember that it is a scary fvcking world out there for women; hundreds of potential rapists and murderers are everywhere.. And lets be honest, it's not 'normal' for a guy to just go out of his way to talk to a girl that he passed by on the street. You know you're not Ted Bundy or Ronnie The Rapist but she doesn't. You need to spend plenty of time establishing rapport and making connections with her.

I completely agree. My female friends have told me they would never go out with a guy who cold approached them, mainly for this reason.

Plus, many women want to get to know something about a guy and whether he's worth dating before taking a chance. A 10 minute conversation is not enough for girls to make that decision. They probably gave you their number because A) they didn't want the awkwardness of brushing you off face to face or B) They were flattered and in the moment it seemed ok. However, they usually rethink it all in between then and your call.

Personally, I believe majority of the girls who will respond well to a cold approach are the same type of girls who are up for one night stands in clubs. And if that's your thing, getting them in the club, when they're drinking and on the pull is a lot easier!
