"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.

Fall of an AFC

I just wanted to point out several things that I have learned from SoSuave over the past couple of months that has really changed my lifestyle, and point of view on women in general. I basically was the definition of an AFC at the beginning of my Senior Year in high school. I had a crush on this chick on the volleyball team and did everything possible thing I could have done wrong to seduce this girl. I told her best friend that I liked her and if she would hook me up with her, I was shy and awkward around her, and when I wasn't shy, I wuld stutter and definitely give her signs that I liked her. I even asked her out a couple of times and when "no" wasn't enough for me, she got one of her guy friends to tell me that he was her boyfriend and to fvck off. My problem with girls became that severe. I began to take some steps to improve, and I decided not to worry about girls, fvck them...I didn't need them. I went to the gym 4 times a week, for the next 2 months and gained 15 lbs of muscle. I started to talking to diff. kinds ppl at my school, and I started to care less about my image and be more positive about myself. People started to notice and I started to change. I went out a lot more on weekends and I got my first LTR at the end of February. Since it was my first LTR, it was hard to keep the interest level for more than a few months, so eventually she broke up with me. The hardest thing I had to learn so far was breaking up, and my inner AFC came out once again. I learned to tame it and to be confident and know that you don't need a girl in your life to make you happy and that there are so many girls out there that you could be fvcking. I looked back on my critical mistakes that I made, and learned from them. I had a couple of hookups since then that boosted my ego and I'm definitely glad I'm single now and in college. Nowadays, when I look at AFCs give roses or poems to their secret crushes, or hear about how some girl broke up with some chump and hear his cries of sadness, I just realized how lucky I am to have learned why these things happen and what you need to do to prevent them. Guys blame girls and call them sluts and *****s just because they got bored with their "boytoys" and left their chump ass. But in reality, its their own fault, they need to realize that this is a game we're playing and your girl could love you one day, and dump your sorry ass the next. Don't take a girl for granted, and no matter how in love you are with a girl, always guard your heart. I just felt inspired today and felt like I had to give back some feedback on how Sosuave changed me and how I hope this site continues to change the guys who want to better themselves. Thanks a lot guys.
 

"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.
