"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.

We Broke up

Fast forward to today and I'm about to Go visit her (she lives far away for the summer)

She cancels on me telling me that she has a ton of work to do and that she'd just find time to come see me instead. (she always does this. really annoying)

but anyway I'm cool with it. I told her i'm perfectly fine with not driving 4 hours. She said she feels bad, but today just isn't a good time.

I give her her work space, but now she won't stop calling me. I haven't answered yet because i'm doing yardwork now. I text her that i was busy

but now she's accusing me of ignoring her because i can't be too busy. not if i was about to drive to go see her

I guess means i don't have a life. I simply couldn't be doing anything else since i changed plans with her

she's being totally ridiculous. I am not ignoring her, but she seems to think i am. I thought she was busy? WTF?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Dude, don't stay in contact with your ex. She's only tooling you around in the absence of another man; as soon as she finds one, "Raikojo who?" Quit thriving on ex drama like a chick and move on with your life.

And the "work" excuse is bogus as fukk - a girl telling you she's "too busy working" is like you telling her "I'm washing my hair that night."

That dog don't hunt.

Dude just cut it off why in the **** are you wasting your time?

.....A successful relationship should not have to go through a break up. My parents never broke up inbetween their relationship before marriage and that is how it should be man.

Remember the attention you can give is your currency. There is absolutely no reason to pay any attention to this ex. Please quit letting her do this to you and get real.

Cuz we still friends, yo

we were always cool. even before we started dating. I'm currently dating 3 other women right now. so I don't really care for a reunite. if she wants to go, she can go. I'm not gonna cry over her or chase her

raikojo17 your a bit.ch
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

The topic title is "ex girlfriend is pissing me off!!!" and now you say you don't care. It's okay to admit it, even if it's an ego thing: you do care. You care enough to get worked up over it.

Look, you have to forget about her. Seems she has the power here. Four hours man? You are driving FOUR HOURS to see her? If she is the one bugging you with phonecalls and the like, tell her when you are free and let her know that she can drop by. She needs to come to you... and if she doesn't, who cares? You've moved on already.

exactly, why he is a d1ck taking b1tch and is powerless
 

"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.
