"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.

Ex-one-itis keeps inviting me for lunch (and I keep turning down her offers)

I've had a one-itis with this girl for a while. We used to hang out relatively often, then she found a boyfriend, we stopped hanging out... and you know the story. Earlier this year I decided to cut off all contact. All was good till recently. She's being e-mailing me over and over to have diner. I turned down all of her offers (at least 5 times, maybe more), but she keeps asking. Last week, she e-mailed me asking if I was mad at her. My reply was something like this: "No, not at all. Just busy. Maybe later. -me"

Today, I received yet another e-mail asking me if I wanted to have diner with her and a common friend (whom I don't really want to see either) next week.

How to handle this? Do I just politely decline again? :crazy:
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

simple line:

"look; im a busy man. i only have time in my life for women who are more than friends"

keep your ground and dont apologize or give in no matter what sh!t she throws at you.

she'll most likely call you an a$$ and be on her way.
