"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.

Ok so last week I friend requested a girl who I thought I knew or had met especially because we had mutual friends. Her page was super duper private btw.

Today I get a friend request from some dude who I have many mutual friends with, I add him thinking I must know him, come to find out he was the girl's bf. Within minutes he starts a chat via fb chat saying "why'd your friend add my gf after she denied your friend request? I know all about you. Stalk someone elses sh*t" and unfriends me before I could even say anything! The "I know all about you" line I'm pretty sure means he's heard I'm notorious for picking up girls through Facebook haha

Apparently what had happened was one of my fb guy friends coincidentally friend requested her and she plus her bf thought I was trying to stalk! Insane, I couldn't believe it. So now I'm sure he's out spreading rumors that I'm an online stalker and basically creating slander.

Any advice on this?

Because most people around here think I'm a weirdo for picking up girls on Facebook (which is fun and easy!) but the ones who don't agree with it have already started talking and I've heard from numerous people I'm well known for it. Last thing I need is to be considered a stalker when I'm not at all but I'm sure layered with the other rumor wouldn't be a good thing

So if one dude writes "you're a stalker" on your wall, then your whole game is dead?

How do these accusations affect your life? Some people won't talk to you because you're a perceived weirdo?

You can't really do much to stop those people from thinking you're weird. Just worry about yourself, a don juan doesn't have time to deal with bulls****. And I doubt these guys social circles are so far reaching that EVERY woman you ever talk to will be like "OMFG FACEBOOK STALKER GET AWAY" . You only waste your time/energy worrying about it. It's not like this guy is gonna do anything anyways, he's all talk guaranteed. When you make enemies, you're doing something right to get them jealous of you enough to dislike you.
 

"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.

Simply ignore it. Worry about your character, the person you truly are. Don't worry about your reputation or what others think about you too much. There will always be someone who isn't all positive about you.:)

What if I happen to run into him IRL and he decides to confront me?
 

"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.

Since you're stalking him you should able to know where he is going so you can avoid those places,otherwise read the martial arts thread.

Seriously most of the people is good only at barking,don't worry because if someone wants to hurt you he just do that.
He does not tell you in advance on facebook or tell you why he is angry at you,he simply does it.

Yeah you're right. I am known for meeting girls off fb and honestly who cares, it's just another venue. Guess some people have a hard time seeing it that way.
