"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.

Getting out of the friendzone? (somewhat long story)

I have talked to this girl for about 2 or 3 months and this is my story:
I have known this girl for a few years. I knew her because she dated someone I knew. Well she had broken up with her boyfriend about 4 or 5 months ago. She started talking to me often in the beginning. I messed up and entered the friend zone. She once asked me to go out to a club with her and one of her other friends, and ended up dancing with a guy all night right in front of me. So naturally I was pissed. So at the end of the night, she was arguing and fighting with her friend so I got out of the car to take a break from it and I turn around and she left. And the next day I hear the girl was left by herself too cuz she kicked her out. I ended up making her come back and pick me up, but I refused to talk to her.

I told her I never wanted to talk to her ever again. This got her really upset and all of her friends said she was literally crying to them because I wouldn't talk to her anymore. Well, after a couple of weeks I allowed her to contact me. I feel like this put me at the advantage. She would always call me, text me, asking if it was ok if she came out with me and my friends. She would visibly be mad if I was dancing with another girl. She asked me out for valentines day but it turned out she ended up having to work that day. She would often go out to dinner with a guy, then after the dinner was over she would call me up to come out.

The roles flipped once again and I was the one calling her and trying to get her to come out, hang out etc. I figured if I stopped talking to her for a few days it would put me on the advantage. She now texts me and calls me often. But, she said "I love you, you're such a good friend". I'm confused if I'm wasting my time, because she does throw some vibes to me like just staring at me and smiling when we are in a big group of people. And when I'm on the dance floor she always has her eye on me. Am I in the permanent friend zone or do I have a fighters chance?
 

"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.

yeah you're wasting your time. You have what is called one-itis. There are a lot of other girls out there. Just move on. I'm not saying you can't be friends but you are not going to be able to go out or date this girl. It just won't happen. But if you really want to prove it to yourself then just ask her out somewhere (alone) and see if you can escalate with her. But I really don't think you should waste your time. However, if she's really hot then maybe you can try and turn the tables on her again. Say stuff to her like "oh I'm glad I have such a good friend" and see how she takes it and how she reacts. I still think it's a waste of time but it really can't hurt I guess.

i think you have a chance.
her saying "you're a good friend" means nothing.
look at her actions.
and you're right about giving her space, and letting her come to you.
just control yourself and don't seem desperate.
it's ok to go and have fun with other girls too and have her know about it.
don't care about what she thinks.

A real simple solution is to tell her you have a much greater interest in than the "just friends" crap. Tell her you want her, and if she doesnt want to have sex, then to lose youe fu*cking number.

Yea I was thinking about telling her theres more interest than just friends. I'll do that very soon and post on the forum with results.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

You wouldnt go with that, but you agree that it would work. Wow. Do you want a woman, or a Playboy magazine, and some lotion?

Why don't you step up and be a man and quit the shy guy nice guy routine. As you can see by now it isn't getting you into her pants.

By your description she is going for more agressive men than you are so why not take the initiative and make your move instead of whining about how she is treating you.

Oh the mad thing you did was the only good thing you have done so far. When you get mad at females a lot of them hate it and it nuts em up.

But it also increased her attraction for you cause it make it look like you had some balls instead of the creepy dude suplicating and listening to her whine about men role you have been doing.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I love DIRECTNESS and BLUNTNESS. I would have respect for a woman, were she to grow a pair of balls, and tell me to my face, "I'm sorry, but I dont find you physically or sexually attractive" I can live with that. But the "friends only" crap is a bunch of $hit.

Take the mick out of them and their opinions. Not in a nasty way, but a jokey back hand compliment way. And ask intresting questions that she wouldnt have heard much. "Do you think prince harry was bullied in school because of him being ginger?"

All you do is waste yourself in front of the computer? Where is your excitememnt when reading this stuff? Don't you want to see if it all works? Stop doing nothing and watching other people live thier lives on the telebox! Get a hobby man. Hell, I joined an ameature dramatics group. Think, abundance of females, scarcity of men. Competition laws were in my favour and makes you intresting.

When a woman asks you what you are doing this weekend, never ever say nothing. And if you are doing something that doesnt seem all to intresting, make it sound intresting for heavens sake. She has to want your precious time. It will make her special, and you a hell of a lot more intresting.

As for conversation skills, practice makes perfect. Dont watch the bloody tv!

One of your biggest weapons that can differentiate you from "just a friend" into "more than friends" (in my experience) is whether you use kino on the girl or not. If you don't ever use it, you can be sure you'll be in the "just friends" zone. Don't go overboard with it, but using kino is a great way to let her know you are a sexual being who is interested in her.

Did you ask her out for one-on-one time with you? I think she might even think that being just friends with her is what you WANT. It doesn't sound like she's clear about what your intentions are.

i lie most of the time on my profile.

help me,i need help BIGTIME
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
