"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.

Girl asks if you have girlfriend

Okay, so I know this girl. I'd met her once or twice before this but nothing more than in passing. So we're chilling at the beach with a bunch of other people the other night and we start talking. Eventually we're sitting together and she asks if I've got a girlfriend. I didn't use any lines and just told her that I didn't. So I hesitantly bit the bullet and asked her if she had a boyfriend. I was sure she did, and she confirmed it.

Now, as soon as I asked, she started telling me how it's not going well and she think he's an *******. We spent more time together, drank, walked on the beach and all that. She was distant (shy) but now I'm curious.

I've done this before (bagging girls who have ******* boyfriends), and I'm pretty sure I can do it again. But the odd thing is that she actually asked if I had a girlfriend first and seemed pretty interested in knowing why.

What do you guys think? I try not to break up relationships (although if your girl is going to rail other guys, you are probably deserving of it anyway). Should I leave this one alone or go for it? Is she interested?
 

"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.

A lot of chicks will try to find a new boyfriend before they get rid of the current one. It sounds like she's shopping. No reason you shouldn't pursue her if you like her.

Don't listen to too much about her currently relationship and crap like that though. You'll "good listener" your way right into the friend zone. Try to get some kino going or something. You should've said you have a couple gf's, hahah. That would probably have got her interest.

On Point was just that when he talked about introducing and escalating KINO.

She IS for a fact interested in you. I'm 100% postive because I've personally seen this exact scenerio many times. :p

Try not to overanalyze why she asked you if you had a girlfriend. Does she want a new boyfriend? We don't know yet. But the REASON she asked you is because she is interested in you in some way. She wants you and will escalate with you. The only question remains: will you call her up and ask her out?

Once, a woman did indeed ask me that.

I said "Why? Are you interested?"

She pauses and then says "I was just wondering."


So I'm inclined to think it doesn't mean much.

Well, I didn't use a line like that for precisely that reason. I don't think a girl with a boyfriend would want to proclaim that she's looking for other guys on the spot.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Perhaps, but does than necessarily mean that she's available? There's a difference between a woman who's interested and one who's intrigued.

just pursue her and act like she doesn't have a boyfriend, if she gives up the ***** be sure to not get serious with her, because she will do the same thing to you.

KNOW THIS: girls make no sense; you can't ever try and figure out what's going on in their heads. (I stopped trying and life was much easier for me because of it.) Sometimes girls just want to know if you're seeing anybody, especially if they consider you attractive. Most girls assume attractive guys would be paired up just like they are. There are a bunch of reasons for why girls do stuff. If you want to make a move DO IT, if you don't, leave it alone and be prepared to deal with being passive.
