"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.

here's the situation. hot hot HB on match.com looking for a guy of my ethnicity only, not only written in what she's looking for but actually in her profile. we have one bad boring phone call (1 hour long) and she flakes on meeting 2 days later. she's met guys from there before who she seem to get on with in writing but when she met them in person there was no chemistry, so she uses the phone as a screening test. which i've failed.

secondly, i live literally down the road from her, we're only 5 mins away from each other yet she can't seem to find time to come meet me. thirdly she claims to be depressed and not looking for the love of her life right now (yet her match profile indicates looking for a guy between 25 and 45) i understand low IL after the phone call, but it seems silly to me that she doesn't even want to meet up cos we live so close?

it just doesn't make sense to me, i'm her type physically, ethnicity wise, i live near her YET she still doesn't meet me. it's not as if she hasn't met other guys since. it just puzzles me, can anyone figure this out for me?

i followed up 2 weeks later to meet up that same day i.e. immediate date. she led me on making it sound like she was going to meet me, she didn't. i left it there. today 2 and half weeks later i decide to send 'so when me and you going to get together? ;)'

still waiting for a reply. i should have applied the 2 strikes rule here, but whenever i see her profile i get infuriated cos it just seems to me there's no reason why she SHOULDN'T at least be meeting up with me given proximity etc
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

She doesn't want you because you don't value yourself as a man. You keep harassing her and you don't know how to charge a broad to the game. You cupcaked with this woman you never met for an hour on the phone! What does this say about you? It says you got a lot of time on your hands.

She is clearly not interested and there is no way you can turn this around. Learn to have multiple girls and not put all your eggs in one basket.

I'm no expert but it seems like you have displayed you have no other options except her.

The better question is, why do you give a f**k?

It's some invisible girl on the internet...I could understand if you banged her a few times and she disappeared, but why are you wasting time trying to crack the case of "1 out of 3 billion girls who you'll never meet"? Seems desperate.

[Alleged] women online will not meet with needy guys!?!? You don't say!!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

This case is simple to the 5th power. Oh, and she can be figured out. :eek: Judge nismo knows that.

You're boring, you lack options, and she knows she can have you whenever. This makes you wonder about her, and she's pegged you as "That boring guy who doesn't stay far from me but just might creep me out." All because your refusal to spin more plates made you desperate for this girl, and desperation turns girls off. Don't invest more time and attention to a girl who you haven't met in person yet. :kick:

Spin more plates, use the phone to set up a date, not cupcake till 8. :nono: So ordered.

Case dismissed. Leave my courtroom. :rolleyes:

Maybe no expert but you're certainly on the right track mate.

Shizer man 1 hour?!! on the phone before you even met her?! I'm no expert but, in my opinion, it should go something like - gettin familiar enough: 4 mins, setting up the date: 1 min. Phonecall done!! What will you talk about if you've already spent an hour telling her about yourself?! and Judge Nismo speaks the TRUTH ;) it's harsh but it's true.
