"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.
"Do you play any sports?"

"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.
'Nah, i visit the gym instead. Saves time and this way all my muscles get exercised.'
But dude, some sort of physical exercise / sport is a must. So if you don't play a sport you should be workin out (if you're old enough)
So just make up something like "I used to wrestle, but I messed up my shoulder and can't do it anymore." This creates interest because the girls might see it as very masculine that you were injured doing something macho like wrestling.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Solution: Pick up a sport.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Because you don't comform to what a girl wants... you do what makes you happy!
Plus, you can lie and say you lift weights or run every day. HOw would they find out? Who even cares?
I tell people I box... I don't... hahah.

Oh wrestling is tough. 2 men, one MAN. I used to play football too. A 6 minute wrestling match takes more from your body than an entire game. Its one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports out there.Originally posted by Soniq_red
Man, wrestling is fun/
And for the original poster, I am a computer guy. But that doesnt effect my ability to pick up women. Just find a couple more hobbies. Find something a guy friend does, but you dont, and try it out.
Oh, and if a girl is shallow enough to judge you by whether you play sports or not, she isnt worth the time.
