"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 really I don't "ask" for the number, I just say "I'm gonna call you" give her the phone and do that sh*t. Agreed, numbers don't mean sh*t and yeah, but again, it's success. Sure I didn't any F close, but hey, got nothing good to say, you don't need to post. It's a number close, make of it what you will.
LOL, I thought maybe this would be the first thread where you didn't say something along the lines of "don't have anything good to say, don't post" or "Shut the fvck up, I get numbers and you don't". Don't take everything so personally, El Dud-ski.

It's just that the board is so "impositive" though and you got to f*cking have sex with a b*tch to get any kind of respect around here. Half the people criticizing me probably struggle with numbers anyway.

LOL, I don't think anyone criticizing you has problems getting numbers. You have failed to realize that getting a number from a girl is basically insignificant. Sure, you need to get a girl's number to make it go somewhere with her, but just because you get a phone number doesn't mean that it will go anywhere, and it doesn't make you some "dating guru". Girls with boyfriends will even give their numbers to you every so often.

Enough with you and compaining about the board. Bottom line, will you call this chick and try to set up a date? You come on here talking about the numbers you get, but have you once even tried setting something up by calling one of these girls?

SO... you know what you need to do to move this forward, will you do this, or just continue posting how you get numbers and throw a ***** fit when someone says they aren't ****?

That seems to be all he does on this site. Come on and brag about getting a number, ignore anyone who says call the girl and just posts whiny replies to people who say the number means nothing. Watch, he will respond to my previous post that i'm not being positive towards him, and totally ignore my question as to whether he will call the girl.

Read. I said numbers didn't mean much in an earlier post. But the point is, you aint gonna say anything positive or helpful then shush. If you're just going to criticize me on how this is bad because I didn't F-close, then just stop right there.

HAHA @ ElStud

Sorry, Mr. Dating Expert, didn't mean to step on your toes. Sorry I'm criticizing you for not getting a hug and playing with their hair and calling them your "little sister". Maybe you should come out with an e-book of everything you know. I bet you would put Mystery and DYD out of business.

Elstud, are you going to call the girl? Nothing negative there, just a simple question.

I didn't mean so quick, but at least you took action. If you are going to call again I would say wait a couple of days so you don't look desperate with this chick.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

Not to hate on your strategy , but number closing is very over rated in 2008... most women will give almost anyone their number then screen out the suiters later on..... So the thing to focus on is getting a make out session or and F close..

I have many friends with over 100 girls number sin their phones and they have only F'ed around 4 or 5 of them.. They focus too much on just getting the number..
+1

Rep for you. There's a good chance that's the most productive thing that is going to come out of this thread.

Can the negative fu<ks please just stay away, you aren't helping anyone. This guy is trying to improve, yes he has a few quirky traits but if he can learn to use them positively, credit to him.
