"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.

Man, it feels great. Things are starting to get back on track for me.

Finally got into the position where I get a day off every week. That was pretty much the turning point. Been able to get out a couple of nights a week nowadays. Having zero energy and having to sit at home 6 nights a week (and hardly able to enjoy the one night I DID go out because I was so tired) was really getting to me.

So as far as women go.....no real prospects in the pipeline, but in the past several weeks i have noticed a DRAMATIC improvement in "potential".

It must have a lot to do with not being a walking zombie anymore, cause I'm getting back to the point where I'm getting quite a bit of of attention from chicks. It hasn't been from the RIGHT ones, but it's a good start, cause it all feeds on itself and I know there are some decent, attractive women out there.

Hell, for once in my life I might actually get out and start living up to my reputation as a man-wh0re.

Here's to positive change :up:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

He still has to do some follow up MRI's and stuff, but all looks well so far.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

It goes right back to what we were talking about before, about how a woman doesn't want anything to do with a man who is down and out.

Yea, i managed to hook up here and there during that time, but the women who were gravitating toward me weren't exactly the kind i would bring home to mom.

I have noticed such a marked change just in the last few weeks.

It's amazing how a boost in attitude can boost your attractiveness to women.

Women are sooooo magnetically attracted to a guy who looks like he is having a good time. Then add in a woman or two showing you attention and it seems like every woman in the place is checking you out.

Alright man, you're 23. Why are you still posting on here?

And for the record, I'm not looking forward to your 25th birthday.

They say that time heals all but it's a lie. Waiting for a miraculous change will only lead to wasted time and prolonged agony. Good for you brother that you're getting things back into coherence enough to get a peripheral view of where you want to direct your energies.

You'll be fine my brother.
