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.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
You think i'm an AFC, I used to be the man before coming over to the Don Juan Bible, A relationship with a girl of 1 1/2 years is over b/c i followed the DJ bible. And don't even try to tell me that its my bad cuz you dont knw me worth shyt. I now know how it really is and i will never follow the way of the bible again.Originally posted by -HPNOTIQ-
ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME?! You're on crack bro. Look around you...you're an AFC hanging around a pack of wolves. Wolves decide what we slaughter...a rabbit doesn't decide when it is going to be eaten.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Ok. Ive been talking to/ seeing this chick for about a month. She texts me everyday and all that bs. Her interest level is high and was yesterday also...
I know actions speak louder than words. When I try to setup something with her or hang out the last few days she finds an excuse everytime.
So we were texting back and forth last night, i try to set something up and she does not respond. So I call her and try. I tell her I want to make some plans, she says she wants to go to sleep and blows me off. I say whatever bye.
I text her back tell her I like her and I want to get to know her better. But maybe we want two different things from each other. I say sorry for keeping you awake. (smart ass)
I know if she doesnt respond shes not worth my time or effort.
I think maybe shes afraid of commitment because she got out of a relationship three months ago.
I need some advice here guys, how would you handle this?
Thats great advice.Thanks man. I wish it was easy to find a decent one, believe me ive been through my share of fruit loops. Haha but i guess we all have. The problem is sometimes when i find a chick i really want **** like this happens. Its the ones i could care a less about that stick around.Originally posted by crowes22
I would not contact her, she is flaky, interested chicks are not flaky. I wouldn't be rude to her but I'd basically ignore her. Find somebody worth your effort, and you will, the good girls are still out there, you just have to deal w/ a pack of fruit loops before you find one. Good luck.
Come to think of it your probably right man.Originally posted by JasonR
when you got annoyed because she blew you off, you failed her test.
NEXT her and move on.
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.

Bahahahahaha!She would look at you and say "I want sex" and you'd say, "you better not be cheating on me or i'll dump your ass."
