"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

HB Jenine.

I was cutting up through Albert Park today and saw a way hot latina girl with bright green eyes and dreads sitting down. I walked over and (consciously using tonality) said "Hey , how's it going , would you mind taking a pic of me with my digital camera? (holding out my phone)".
I explained that I wanted to send a pic to my sister.
From there I got onto what she was doing in town today (studying, and on to talkign aboutherself and her course....).

I was walking back to my car after spending a few hours in the park with an MLTR Catherine when I saw a cute HB in front of me.
I ducked and weaved past a few people and opnened her by saying "Hey how's it goign, I'm sposed to meet a mate of mine in a caf in the park here, d'you know where she means" then we talked abotu weather the caf' was any good , but I wasn't on a winning vibe and ejected :( .

Bith good openers but I really need to satrt throwing in a hook to get the interest level up.

How've you guys done this weekend?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

A better opener - " I never saw a woman (Latina) with green eyes and dread locks - what is your ethnicitycultural background??

Did you ask for her number - if not then what was the reason for approaching??

i think the dig cam pic approach, for a lone wolf, cold street approach is excellent. it seems that this would work almost all the time. only a mega-b!tch would reject this. will remember it. you could always say, "hmmm...do you think this pic is ugly?....let's get another one...nope...try again..." good entry into rapport building.

yeah, what about the digits for either of them? why did you eject on the second one? what was the point of approaching?

After she took your picture you should have asked for one with her and you. If she says yes then you know she may be interested in you, and there's your opening for the digits.

Was setting up for an instadate on the first, but fumbled the logistics.Didn't close the second cos I was on a bum vibe (my bad play, I know).

we all know the lesson learned here , in the immortal words of Gunner "Make the ho say no!"
 

"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.

Well at least you are out there making an effort which is more than I can say for myself.

But I agree that you should almost never eject but go for the gold and let the girl tell you no (or maybe yes!) It is one thing to have the girl reject you, but if you don't even ask you basically are rejecting yourself.

Keep in mind I'm saying this because I can relate and actually need to follow my own advice!
