"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I met this girl a couple of years ago through school, got her number, nothing happened. I was always joking around with her and stuff, but nothing very sexual. Tried to hang out with her, didn't work out. Forgot about her for 1.5 years. She texted me out of the blue about 4 months ago, as she was attending the same event as I was (she saw my Facebook status); I had long deleted her number. Didn't see her there, didn't talk to her for another few months. I drunk text her (just fluff), we text back and forth a bit, I ask if she'll be around campus this summer, she says yes, and that we should meet up. I tell her I'll get back to her when I'm back in town after a few weeks away.

Now then. My plan is to meet her for drinks, and go from there. However, I'm worried because I fear I haven't made my intentions very clear. This seems like a very beginner mistake to me, but I was much more of a beginner when I first met this girl! I'm worried that if I all of a sudden try to have some sort of sexual frame, alarms will be going off in her head. Anybody got any insight for something like this?

I realize some inner-game mistakes as I'm making them, but I can't stop :( I'm way too outcome dependent with this chick, I'm not assuming attraction, blah blah blah. There, I saved you guys the trouble of pointing it all out.

More info available upon request. Thanks guys.
 

"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.

She has responded to your contacts and given you an invitation to meet up with her for drinks.

Assume attraction.

If you're wrong, and she is not attracted, no big deal.

Just show up, charm her, make her laugh, kino, etc. Work your magic. If she responds, great. If not, what did you have to lose?

The memory is kinda vague, but I believe I asked her to lunch (lame, I know) on a specific day, and she said "I'd love to, but I have blah blah blah." I remember it not seeming like a rejection at the time, but of course, I could be wrong. I'll just assume it wasn't.

She didn't give me an invitation to meet for drinks, just to "meet up." Going out for drinks is what I'll be inviting her to. I figure it's better than lunch haha.

Just to be clear, I'm not worried about failing...no skin off my back really. I'm just hoping to maximize my chances here.
