"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.

Going to a party this weekend, was talking to my buddy and randomly I find out that this girl I talked to online probably 2-3 years ago will be there. We never actually met, just got her number and texted her a little back and forth and then she randomly went cold.

How would you guys handle this? Ignore her? Or approach and tell her you are the guy from back then? Just thinking it might be different actually meeting her in person instead of just on a screen.
 

"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.

Treat her as if you've never even known her...she likely won't remember you, why do you remember her? Obviously you were far more invested than she was.

I agree with this. Treat her like a brand new prospect.

Don't approach her saying: hey you the girl from OLD back than...

She'll freakout... cause she does not remember you.

How the he'll you remember her or know this if you guys never went on a date?

Treat her like a new prospect. If it goes well than say "you remind me of... from old" but do that only if you got her in the bag... otherwise totally ignore the OLD and get her number/date/lay
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
