"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.

um, well i know its pretty shame to say this, but... my close mate(he is such a good conversationalist and known as a pimp at my school) is saying, I can be a picky or needy(may b desperate too??) guy sometimes and this behavior REALLY frustrates me.

Lately, Im trying to get down with this 7 chick at my school and she DOES play "hard-to-get". I know I have to turn the table around(make her chase me) but my needy or picky traits are such a problem to get this girl for me.

What is a key to stop me from being picky or needy???

And how do i exactly show my value to her?? How do I make a "hard-to-get" girl think I am an awesome person???

P.s..: I got told that girls get turn off(bore) when guys ask thm questions such as "what'cha been doing?" or "what are you up to,today??" on text message. so how should I start to make her telling me her interests?

Thnx.

"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.

Ok first being desperate isn't good. But the most important is not to be needy. You weren't being desperate with this girl, you were being needy. Giving her a lot of attention in order to get something from her. Bad move. Once you found out she plays hard to get, you had two options: bail or beat her at her own game.

How you beat her at her own game? Simple. First you show value, why you are just an awesome person. Then when she starts to show interest, you take whatever you were doing away. You making her chase. Now you are playing hard to get and the tables are turn. She is now the needy one and you are the cool one wiht too many girls to decide which one you want (if you dont have many girls, fake it til you make it, this doesn't mean lie to her about other girls just act like you have other options)

Lastly, approach a bunch girls doesn't make you seem desperate. Take away that belief, it going to hold you back. It's when you approach with a needy demeanor. That makes you both look desperate and lose social proof.

One last thing, don't type aim style here. You lose potential responses when you do that. But keep at it.

Love,

I agree with the typing. The easier your post is to read, the better responses you will get.

But to quickly sum up my reaction to this, play it cool. Push one day, pull the next. Flirt with her for a day or two, and on the third, act like shes nobody to you, and then on the fourth maybe show a little interest. Repeat randomly. Always keep her guessing. The less predictable you are, the more interested she becomes. Curious girls are always good.

I'm going to do this...I'm highlighting everything WRONG with your post.
First of all thnx 4 reading ma question. haha

Pook mentioned dat being deperate is being obessed wf 1 girl rite? so may b lookin my situation at skool.

i knw dis girl and she is 7 cuttie but shez very quite and not DAT popular az she shld be (lol i meant wf her body and face... she typical HOT girl). i askd some girls abwt her afta i made some rapport wf dis chck. Then i found owt she lyks 2 tease boys... lyk playin hard 2 get basiclly.

b4 i read da Pooks articel was tryin 2 talk 2 her az often az i can during interval or lunch time...then i afta read the article was thinking... may i should jus play it cool... lyk hangin owt wf m8s and dnt giv her mch attention and stuff..

So wat should i do???? being friendly wf using KINO or jus playin it cool and take ma time???

P.s. if you approach many girls at skool, wouldnt you look lyk a desperate chump??? *i hav no problem approachin women by the way...*
I'm not even going to assist you. If I can mark up that much of your post with red text, then you need to go back to school.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

You should probably edit your first post in this thread. It's probably the only way to salvage any kind of advice that people may have for you.

Agreed. However, the advice that Marvel and I have given should be a good place to start.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
