"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.

To clarify, I am actually talking to these girls, making an effort to be friendly, down to earth, etc. But the girls get visibly nervous anyway. I mean, I HAVE to talk to these girls, just to conduct normal business at the clothing store, video store, tax center, etc. But normal chit chat seems to create anxiety in these girls.

For example, I was talking to the receptionist at the tax center yesterday, chatted with her for a few minutes about the wait, who was available, how much it cost, etc, and I could tell she was getting very nervous. She told me to wait up front since she would go back to see who was available. Anyway, she ran so fast, she tripped in her high heels and almost fell down on the marble tile floor!

So, I'm not quite gaming these girls, like telling them they're beautiful or asking for their phone number. But they get really nervous anyway. How do I calm them down first? That's the first step for me.

dude are you serious? did you read his thread at all?

you have NO idea what his problem is and you're just throwing random advice about how he needs to grow balls.

are you retarded? seriously.

he's asking if anyone else notices how girls get shy around good-looking guys.

but dude, it's fine... you look totally cool and so suave with your post count higher. you're so suave... cool. nice.

and to the OP, yes i notice it.
 

"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.

If they are being sarcastic or frowning you must be giving off some kind of negative vibe to them. It could be your tone of voice, your body language, your facial expression, a bunch of different things. Just be aware of your non-verbal communication and see if there is anything about that which sends off negative vibes. Make sure you don't have dragon breath or stinky pits, too...no matter how good looking a guy is...if he's got some smelly funk going on he's going to get some bad responses.

I just gave an example in my last post above about my conversation with a young woman at a tax center.

Ok i'm gonna stop now. Obviously, i don't understand where this guy is coming from or i just don't see it as a big deal.

I used to worry about sh*t like this for no reason when i was an AFC. Ok girl finds you cute, and she gets a little nervous. Big Deal.
Why all the fuss?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I find girls will get mad at you to "test you" and then their attraction is dependant on how you scored on that test. Its definately not a conscious thing.

Dude this is becoming an inane excercise in self-congratulations now.

If you are really that good looking, you should be able to get the most smoking of all smoking women once you show an inkling of personality and sincerity. With your supposed looks, you don't even need that for a lot of chicks, just talk to them and they will hop in your laps.

Even with my geriatric dogass face, I can talk my way into more panties than your beautiful boyass can dream of.

Quit crying and make it happen, geezuz.

Maybe you look kinda scary. I've seen that happen before. Is there any possibility that something about your look, how you dress, your size or the loudness of your voice that could be a bit frightening?

Clarification On My Appearance

I'm of pretty average, muscular build: 5'9" and 160 or so. One thing I've noticed is, I've gotten a lot more compliments and looks since I've started going to the gym regularly (about a year or so). My body is more sculpted now, rather than flabby and soft. I would hardly say I'm a giant however.

Also, I've changed my look. I've bought some nice new clothes that fit properly. And I've gotten rid of my shaggy hairdo and beard and I'm clean shaven most all the time and my hair is cut very close to my scalp, so I appear neat and clean.

"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.
