"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.

Also, gentlemen, for shame. I just read the first two pages of responses, and it's all pretty much verbatim an article from Cosmopolitan:

"What does it mean when she _____?"

"Is my Facebook profile saying things about me that I don't want it to?"

"How do I make her vag*na melt in 10 easy steps?"

"What diet should I go on for swimsuit season?"

Seriously fellas. I understand that some of you guys are more experienced and get some fun out of dissecting examples of failure, etc.

But please, please, please, at least let the examples of failure be interesting?

All I see in this situation is a snooty, holier-than-thou girl who isn't worth Jariel's effort. She doesn't wanna party, let her be.

The best response so far was one word: NEXT.
 

"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.

How do you know when a woman is lying? Her lips are moving.

Men have to get this notion of the pure virtuous girl who is innocent out of their mind.

Women are devious and manipulative and will only cease this behavior when a) they get called on it and b) they find someone they feel that it might kill them to lose.

Even then it's always a fight as emotions aren't based in logic and since women don't operate from logic you're always dealing with the possibility they will not make sound rational decisions.

That's why it's preached to not be dependent outcome and to care less about the relationship than her. At any time a woman can be ruled by her emotions, which means she can cheat, exit, dump you etc. Once you get hooked in and have your emotions invested you're sunk because you become dependent upon her for decisions and react to her actions rather than the reverse.

As previously indicated we're are wired to lead and be dominant and women are physiologically wired to be submissive so a woman needs a man for his strengh and a man has a woman as a compliment to his life.

If you ever need a woman your "relationship" is doomed

This girl contacted me yesterday and apologised. She's asked if I'd consider meeting up with her again. I accepted her offer and we went on a date last night. It was really good actually and I had a good time. This week she wants me to go to her place and watch a movie with her.

It shows that the textbook advice really does work. When she started playing games I cancelled our date, cut all contact and moved on. I refused to get sucked into her drama or reassure her.

A lot of guys think going no contact means 2 days of not texting as a strategy to win her back. When she doesn't text/call within that time, they change tactics and go chasing. I walked away from this girl prepared to never speak to her again...ever, and during that time she'd been regretting her behaviour.

She's still got a long way to go if she wants to prove herself as relationship material, but in the meantime I'm just looking to have some fun.
