"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.

"How it makes me feel... well, it makes me feel suspicious. I see guys blaming girls for not being 'friendly' to them just because they were friendly. They are not even aware if that girl has maybe been molested or groped by some other friendly uncle, friend or stranger. We cannot read your minds to decide you're a safe guy. When we don't know a person we think about two things, protecting your hurt feelings and protecting ourselves. And a lot of guys resent us for protecting oneself. We are not mind readers. And a lot of disgusting guys were also very nice to us first before showing their true colors. Understand that. Understand why girls take so long to trust a guy. We're also told to not be too friendly with strangers from childhood. So suddenly we can't change that to suit your mood, right? Don't take it as a personal insult, it's not about you, it's about us."

Not trying to be a white knight, but just understand before you assume that you're a "prize" or approaching her will be the "highlight" of her day.
 

"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.

If a chick is attracted to you, she will WANT you to approach.

Everything she babbled about (hamster speak) was her reaction to men she's NOT attracted to.

If you react badly to a rejection from a cold approach that's something you'll need to work on. Don't ever set expectations high on cold approaches.

When she's approached by a guy she finds hot: turn on

When she's approached by a guy she dislikes: creepy

Typical female BS. Blah blah blah rape blah blah grope blah blah creeps... Not even worth a read.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Haha, ok I get you guys. I've pretty much don't go sarging or serial cold approach anymore, going to take on a new angle.

Guys here are talking about "if she is attracted to you" but there has to be a less awkward way to figure that out other than getting flat out rejected. From what I understand about cold approach, it's best to just make eye contact before anything else and feel her vibe on you.

Well, I think it really depends. I like opening girls at the cafe/bookstore/grocery store etc.. and occasionally on the street, not really much of a 50 turbo approach in an afternoon type dude as it makes me feel weird. If the girl is attracted enough you could push someone over on the way to talking to her, have her see it, then say sup.. and you'd still get the number.. (don't do that of course)..

Really who cares? You should be more concerned with what you want and your odds of success in getting it. I have a blog post about refraining from approaching women where they work.. but that's not because they might not like it, it's because your chances are so low that it's not usually worth your time.

What bull$hit opening post. In the day time women think you are a salesman and run a mile.

This is a woman thinking with her logical brain. When you approach a woman you have to get her using her emotional brain.

Attraction is emotional, not logical. If a women is thinking like this, then she is not attracted to you.

The other thing you need to keep in mind and be aware of is reading the body lanuguage and signs of a woman to determine if you is open to being approached. Every woman is different and they each have their own approach signals. They key to knowing is to develop your intuition... this can only be done with practice.
 

"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.
