"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 went through this from 2009-2011

What a roller coaster. It affected me physically too, I remember feeling very sick and even took a day off of work once.

It was a great life lesson if nothing else. Painful yes...but very valuable.

I went from clueless AFC to "on guard and watch your back" ever since.

In the middle of that time, when I figured out what her play was, I began caring less and decided to bang her as many times as I could, then move on and thats what I did.

Truth be told, the sex was some of the best I've had.

This forum gave me the knowledge I needed to make it through. What I read about on this forum is exactly what she did to the point she became 100% predictable, that was kinda fun to witness.

If I had a chance to go back and do it differently I wouldn't change a thing.
On the other hand, I won't allow myself to get into a situation like that again.
Once was plenty.
 

"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.

A ONS is as far as I go if the damaged goods traits are visible enough.

well, you need to talk to them to figure out if they are damaged.

but ya, if I noticed they were damaged from someone who knew them, I'd steer clear (and have)
