"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.

There's a girl in one of my classes that I know finds me attractive. We've only had a couple small conversations and I'd really like to go for it for once in my life. She seems a little bit introverted but not much. I'm 21, never had a girlfriend before and don't really have any friends anymore that I do anything with except for my roommate and he's got a girlfriend that he's always doing stuff with.

I'm worried that this girl would lose interest once she finds out that I have no life essentially. I want to change and become more sociable but I have an incredibly hard time making friends outside of class. I'm decent when it comes to joking around with classmates but once I get outside of class I turn boring.

So my question is, do girls lose interest once they find out how low your social status is?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Yeah, that's what one of two goals I have started working on Making friends and working out. But I didn't know if I should just wait to get some good friends before I tried to get a girlfriend or do it now.

You just met this girl and you're already thinking about making her your gf?
You've got a lot to work on dude.
Getting a gf is a lot like stock trading, A good trader does not go into a trade expecting to make profits, but expecting to keep his capital.
You can not initiate an interaction with a girl expecting a relationship. Because your behavior will reflect your intentions, which will surely chase her away.
Lastly, have some purpose in your internal questions. Replace the 'yes or no' questions with 'how to' questions.
Dont ask "do girls lose interest once they find out how low your social status is?" This has a pretty obvious answer.
Ask yourself "HOW can I have more social value?"
 

"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.

Well... social status really isn't that important on the first few dates... you'll be with her and only her for the most part, so as long as you have some good activities planned it really won't matter. If you have stories to tell or interesting hobbies that's something to show her you're not actually boring. You are being socially lazy as someone pointed out, but that's only a temporary situation. I say go for it.

he who hesitates....

fock having friends, I'm grown. I live in different city, I know a few people but have very few friends. Grown women don't really care as much...people move away, get married, die, etc. They are more concerned with how they feel when they are with me than how many friends I have. Focus on how you make her feel.

Also go meet 10 other women just avoid the afc oneitis. Good luck.

I don't even let girls I just started dating near my friends. I don't like having girls I next so entrenched in my social circles that I have to keep seeing them.
