"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.

We've been going out for 5 months and shes talked about getting married alot. She says I'm the one bla bla bla. I personally think its way to early. And I told her today maybe we should have a threesome and she got all mad saying how I don't want to be with her or get married. I figure its like she lives in a ****ing fantasy world or something. I said I'll be with her and I'm with her so whats the problem?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

She asked you to add 1+1 and you answered 3; do the math. What would you expect her to say?

umm..she's a woman. that's what she is supposed to do. A woman will never come out and ask you to marry them.. but they will start letting you go with them to their friends marriages and say little **** like "oh this is so beautiful"

She is trying to secure her future. you have known this broad for 5 months and she wants to jump in for the rest of your life?

that's a sign for me to run right there. any woman that is even saying anything with the letter M in the first year can go.

whats the problem?
she is trying to shame you into a marriage. This is pathetic and what's even more pathetic is that this is how it usually works.

Then 5 years now, you end up getting a divorce from a woman you didn't want to marry in the first place.
 

"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.

Women are socialized to want and furthermore EXPECT marriage, especially if she's really in love with you. Basically relationships are like companies - they are either growing or going downhill. You can't blame her for wanting it to keep going forward. My ex understood this intuitively. She'd bring up marriage and when I'd make the very rational point that we were too young for that she'd explain her enthusiasm with "Well we've been BF/GF for so long... I just want MORE. We need to be going somewhere." Since I wouldn't take it to engagement it eventually broke down. BTW bringing up a 3-some for the first time to a girl at a point when a she is practically proposing to you is like giving a starving African boy an iPod. Pretty much anything but what she wants, and I'd expect no less than a freak out on her part.

Hey, it's Brother! Long time no talk!

I was told I was marriage material...at like....15 days. Funny to think 10 days later she dumped me.
