"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.

Honestly, women are nuts!
Met a girl on saturday night, number closed, make out, eventually she invited me back to hers, shared a bed but no sex, gave me the usual about how guys only want to f*ck her etc etc. I left in the morning, she openly went in for a kiss, long make out then i leav, telling her I'll her be in touch..
Text today, saying, " hey, it's xxxx, thanks for having me over the other night, it was nice meeting you!"

7 hours later she responds with,
"no worries"

Honestly WTF is the point? I mean I'm not expecting her to profess her undying love or anything, but a simple "it was nice to meet you too" is polite, isn't it? She was obviously into me, so why with the stupid game playing etc? She's not even that hot to be honest, I'm considering just deleting her
number, because if she's being this weird already it doesn't bode well! Weird how girls think this kind of stuff actually attracts men to them!
 

"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.

Yeah that is a little standoffish, no doubt. Almost like she was doing you a favor by having you over. Obviously she is "playing the game".

If you aren't THAT into sexing her, I would send her a text now and then, no expectations, and then some time when you are bored and want a quick and easy lay, call her up and ask her out. I'll bet she will jump the chance, as long as you like I said, don't go overboard contacting her beforehand.

that sucks man...all too common sadly.

5-10 years from now a lot of us who will be in our 30s will wonder at the huge amounts of TIME we spent mentally worrying about azz when we should have been building empires....a lot of my friends fall into this catagory...I try to do both.

Just take it in stride.

I never (thanks to this forum) have ANY kind of expectation from any women I just met until we've gone out at least 4 or 5 times and they've clearly shown a high level of interest.

that way something such as what happened to you is quickly kicked aside without any further thoughts.

Don't get me wrong, I very much do take stuff like this in my stride! At the end of the day I'd rather be getting make outs, invited back to girls' houses etc and then have them play games/ go cold, as apposed to the position i was in not so long ago where even getting a number was a rarity!

This girl is a 7/10 at best, is a little weird, and I met her in a bar! She is far from perfect and I never had any expectations other than getting to know her better and seeing where it goes! If she's not up for that it's not a big deal, her loss IMO, but i guess she'd maybe disagree!

I wasn't Looking for advice as such, I'll probably leave it a day or so, and text her something else, see if I get any more luck and if not, delete and
move on. Plenty more where she came from! It's just how weird girls can be which amazes me, the difference is now, finally, I've learnt not to react to it, which I guess has come through self improvement and finally realising just how easy it is to meet women.

Very much easy come, easy go!
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

What if you had left and not stayed the night?
