"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.

So, it's all about this ex of mine... We were together 2 years ago and we were like, perfect... I broke up with her cause I got bored after 1 year of relationship! Uhm, I understood my mistake after some time but it was too late to try again... I would look stupid or smth... So, now, after 2 years we get together, talk bla bla bla! She is talking about the past, how nice it was and staff like this... So, I kinda missed all we had together and I decided to go for it even though it's 2 years later... I am trying to talk to her every time I can without being annoying or making her believe that I am her pet or smth! She is so kind to me everytime we talk but so far away if I don't make the first move and send her a message or smth! What I got after 2 weeks of talking was this date today! (We met each other 1 month ago too but only friendly talking and she was working) I am supposed to meet her in 5 hours and talk... I want to make my move on her... I will ask her if she has someone else just in case and move on! The thing is, should I tell her what I really feel about her? Will she believe me or she will just think that I am telling all that staff cause I just want an easy f*ck? I am confused about how to make my move today... I've done it many times with other girls and I am not afraid being rejected but with her it's different! Any advice of how should I approach her today?
 

"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.

Treat her like any other new women you would be dating. Don't try to jump back into a relationship with her, you'll look like a desparate chump that way. If you truly want her back, just be a great fun guy to be around, let her subtely know that you have other options, make her want to tie you down.

You should be free as a bird, flapping around, singing, full of joy with life. Women want to trap the bird and throw it in a cage (cage = committment). When birds try to fly into the cage, wouldn't you think something is wrong with that bird? After all, who wants a bird that WANTS to be in the cage? No, women want the birds that are FREE, WILD, and BEAUTIFUL. They want A GOOD CATCH. Good Catches do not fly into cages. Only wounded or needy birds do.

So, you're saying that I souldn't really make my move just to be a fun guy to be with for today... What you said that I will look desperate is exactly what I am afraid of...

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
