"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 started going out with this girl this week and i can't say it is going good. i only see her in the hallway of two classes and after school. however, she used to text me alot and go out of her way to see me. now that we are going out, she doesn't do any of that anymore. I find myself texting her and most of the time she doesn't even answer back. im not sure what im doing but she is definitely losing interest fast and i dont know what to do. anybody have suggestions?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Holly crapadoodledo man, allright BACK UP!

First and foremost, why are you even worried in the first place? Are you long lost star crossed been married for 20 years lovers? NO! Though I'm sure she's cute theirs no reason for any I repeat ANY stress in the first place, you'll give yourself ulcers...:nono:

QUIT TALKING TO HER! yea yea your dating, so what? You're constantly texting her!? quit that! IMMEDIATELY! Now, she's probably a lost cause already, sorry bout that, but you were an AFC. Now quit acting a fool and start acting more like the man that your supposed to be.

REVIEW THE BIBILE IMMEDIATELY!!! :trouble:

Whoa whoa whoa warped, maybe not give up so easy. Girlfriends are scarce these days! But yeah for romantic intentions, your screwed. Try the whole transition into friends thing which makes u look like the guy whos breaking up with her but only not so much as a **** but more of a choosy picky guy, plus 1 more friend always helps ! =))

do what warped says and at least if she dumps you she will do it while you started acting like a man rather than a nice guy love puppy. She might regain her interest (i doubt it) she might not but at least you started acting the right way.

you could be exaggerating this btw, maybe she is actually busy to keep track of all your nice guy texting and love sick text messages, just maybe??
 

"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.
