"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.

What are the signs you should cold approach a girl?

When I'm in malls and stuff, I never see an opportunity. Girls are glued to their cellphone, walking fast, eating at a table in the food court.

Does a girl have to be doing nothing for you to cold approach?

Can someone describe their cold approaches and what the girl was doing when you started the conversation? It would be much help...
 

"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.

Well, I've been on the receiving end of a cold approach... and it turned into something that would last 4 years. I was on my cell phone, telling off my ex (who wouldn't quit calling me), and yelling at the guy in WalMart because they f*cked up my oil change, left my windows down and my keys in the car! I had such a fit they gave it to me for free.

Anyhow, Johnny, my now ex-boyfriend, saw it right to approach me and ask for my number. As I'm on the phone. As I'm standing in line, yelling at this guy.

I was having the time of my life ripping everyone around me and here's there's dood, who appears out of nowhere and asks if I want to get a soda.

I looked at him and said something like, "Wtf do you want?" LOL long story short his charisma and personality won me over. He was totally AFC, lacked timing and whatnot, but you know, I'm glad he did what he did. We had many years of fun and companionship together because of it. :)

He later told me that he decided to approach me based purely and solely on the fact that I could take care of myself and (he thought) I'd be pretty low maintenance. He said he really appreciated a woman who wouldn't let herself be d!cked around. He didn't tell me that until years later, though.

Oh yeah, so where I was going with all this. Women out and about in public are generally going to be doing something, ya know? Like, not just sitting around waiting for you to come over and say hi. BUT, I don't suggest approaching people on the phone... that's incredibly rude and will make the girl and you feel pretty uncomfortable. Just a thought. =)

I mean obviously exercise common sense, like if a girl is on her cell phone, don't approach her or if she's talking to some sales person, don't interrupt.

Aside from that you should be okay with "interrupting" a girl, I remember reading that in the lay guide, you should really get yourself in the mind set that you find it acceptable to approach a girl regardless.

Again, I'm not saying be rude, but you really need to get yourself in a fearless mindset, otherwise you'll find yourself getting defeated by your own AA.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I'm gonna stop posting threads because I hardly get any replies. Surely my questions aren't that dumb. Actually, I'm going to quit this website entirely and just learn from failure. Thanks!
