"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.

It was about mid night one night..so i decide to give this hb9 a call..it was ringing when a dude picked up..and saying "Dont talk to my girl blah blah blah" which really caught me by surprise..i know for a fact this chick digs me..should i try again? or is the bridge already burnt
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

What was your response when he said to not "call his girlfriend."? I envision two possibilities:
1. The girl told the guy about you calling her which means she does not "dig" you. It could possibly be that this guy is not her boyfriend. But either way it does not matter... or
2. The guy is insecure of his girl.
In either cases, you should have responsed "Yeah, I'm calling to let Stepheny know that I don't appreciate her calling me late at night. I noticed her missed call on my phone and I'm returning her call.."

maybe she was too drunk..we're really good friends so the unlikeliness of her trying to avoid me is slim and none. Ill try again in a few days. Either way, its no biggie..she was just my top prospect..there are more in line:rockon:

If the chick wanted you she wouldn't have let someone else answer her phone and say that. Girls are protective of their phones for reasons,if they let their gaurd down(let someone else answer and talk smack to you) then they don't care what you think.
 

"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.
