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.
FYI, I went to an early showing of Happy Feet last night and it's no Toy Story. Potions of it were a bit deep and it actually troubled some of the younger kids in the audience. You may want to consider having something fun and upbeat to do after the movie.DJinTraining06 said:Yea she picked the whole happy feet idea. I dont like movies as dates, unless its my gf. Im gonna suggest drinks. Altho its gonna be perfect dinner time, so i may not be able to avoid that. Think drinks r good?
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

There really are a lot of freaks online and the woman just needs to make sure you aren't a psycho threat, and having a friend with her is protection in her mind.. Don't let her pull it on you for the second date but for the first I'd let it slide.. Who knows, you may like the friend better :-D
mrRuckus said:There aren't any more freaks online than in the rest of life. She meets you in public and she's fine. She doesn't need a friend. What if she asked if her mom could come?
If you're psycho you'd just kill both of them instead anyway. Even if both came they should still be meeting you in a public place. At which point i still don't get it because some psycho is going to appear completely normal until he gets the girl in private anyway. He could just wait till the second date or until he's lulled the friend into false security and she goes home.
Ever see those newscasts after some crazy murderer gets caught? All the neighbors: "he was always the nicest guy. i wouldn't think he could do something like that in a million years."

Well if u live in fantasy land yes, but in real life the odds of a menage a toia (however u spell it) are very low, and the odds of banging her firend instead of her are low too. Unless they r super skankmasters.Grandmaster Sexay said:I would have agreed instantly. Two is better than one.
Who knows. Considering you haven't met them yet, they could may well turn out to be super skankmasters, especially is one is rather caper.DJinTraining06 said:Well if u live in fantasy land yes, but in real life the odds of a menage a toia (however u spell it) are very low, and the odds of banging her firend instead of her are low too.

I kid you not. It wasn't bad but people expected something much different. The previews doesn't depict what the movie is really about.DJinTraining06 said:happy feet was troubling? lol r u kididng?
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
