Is cooking dinner for her AFCish or not. To me it seems like it is but idk.
"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.

"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.
I just moved into my new place and was considering inviting one of my girls over for dinner, but I was thinking more along the lines of the two of us cooking together. I think it could be a fun experience. You might consider doing this sometime.

Have men been the cooks for the last two thousand years? No.navyseal2101 said:
Have men been wusses for the last two thousand years? No.
Notice that when men begin to take up cooking (role reversal), men also turn into wusses (role reversal). (This is not to say cooking makes you a wuss).
To quote Anti Dump: "Real men are not available. They're out there climbing mountains, swimming across rivers. What are you doing? Making spagetthi?"
Depends on your motives for cooking and from what position your coming from (man or metrosexual). If you're cooking to impress, forget it, that's AFC, seeking validation. If you're doing it because it's an anniversay, special day, or she is sick or tired then it would be a romantic gesture, no problem.
If you want her to come to your place, I recommend cooking together (like MrPimpin said), you can have a mini food fight, help out, set the table, kino, who knows, maybe dinner will end up on the floor

You should only cook dinner for your girl if:
a. it's your one year anniversary...or two year
b. she's very sick/she just made a huge accomplishment (college graduation, etc)/a close family member died and she's in mourning.
Cooking for her "just because" is AFCish.
Cooking something together, however, never goes out of style.

"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.

Cook something with her, I've never failed with this. It sort of works as an action date and it's probably something she's not done often, if at all.

cooking is totally okay.
cooking "just because" is fine.
cooking to seek approval is not okay.
and
not cooking to seek approval is not okay.
what if you're a good cook? are you going to NOT cook for her because you want to look like a "DJ"? NO!
TRYING NOT to be an AFC does NOT make you a DJ.
but
DOING what YOU love to do without being bothered about other people's opinions DOES make you a DJ
write that down.
If you like to cook, then cook. If you suck at cooking, then don't cook.

oh yeah and about the picture, it's a lil cloudy in my memory, but change it back the smoking hot one.
