"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.

Forgive me if this is blatantly obvious but...

Doesn't seem to me like there's any mystery about how to get a girl to like you. All you should have to do, it seems, to take her from "this guy's ok" to "this guy's great!" is... get her feeling good.

And isn't that quite easy? Think, what would make *you* feel good, talking to someone? You like talking about your interests and passions, right? And someone who seems to care about them can make you like them pretty fast, especially if they seem interested in them too.

Also, I get the feeling that the difference between becoming friends versus something more is mirroring and kino.

Ahh, do I have any idea what I'm talking about?

"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.

Yep! There are more things than just that, but thats about the simplest way I can think of to get someone to like you.

Damn that's a pretty good post... I have yet to get good at making a girl feel good... mirroring is pretty easy for me if I want to do it... but, the part of trying to make a feel good hasn't worked for me.

hello!

hey good post! with some girls you have to add social proof / jealousy to your arsenal :-D but I think that kino does a very good job and helps you stay away from the friendship-hell-zone!

Yes but what people realize is that doing some things does lower her interest in you.

If you are always kissing her butt, buying flowers and candy, this alone won't help the interest and will likely hurt it.

I think alot of us have done things to make a girl that was once interested in us, no longer interested.

This is why the DJ bible and everything else is still useful. When you don't realize that certain things are hindering the seduction, you will never change.

Ricky,

You are wrong. Don't listen to me, or do. Take offense, or don't. Either way, you are still wrong. So is much that is taught here, and all of the "original" boards on how to pick up woman (it is all the same sh!t that everyone preaches; go ask the bum/crackhead on the corner, he can easilty spit this stuff. Look in the club; everyone is the "P.I.M.P.")

Would you get turned off by a woman you really liked who bought you gifts? I doubt it. I know I'm not. I love it. It's not the gifts. It's the fact that you come over as "buying" their affection that makes you look weak and unworthy.

What do women want? What do you want? Someone who makes them feel special, important, worthy, and, above all, a human. Interact with woman as people and you will be golden. Yes, you want there pu$$y, but so what? Don't you want your customer's money at work? Doesn't stop you from forming a relationship as "humans."

I Have Risen
 

"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.

i have been drinking, don't mind me....

it is true. if a woman likes you, and you make it seem like you are smitten by her, it is flattering. this is how i always get played.

"awwww, he keeps buying me flowers, and called me his girl on the first date. hmmm....what a catch. either he realizes i am the sh!t, or he doesn't even realize he is the sh!t. wow, what a catch!....."

then i get played. hmmm....

maybe i should start being a typical cold hearted b!tch...
