"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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

that is definitely not c&f and it reeks of insecurity. You tell her that she'll know you have no other options and it will only make you seem needy. This is basically a threat to the girl trying to scare her into following your commands by telling her you have other options (girls see right through this). Just reply with short responses "some other time perhaps, latez" and try again and follow the 2 STRIKES RULE
2.saying this " well actually i have two phones...one for you, and one for the other girl so you guys cant read eachother texts"
again read #1 this is a weak attempt at c&f.
3.i quickly asked another girl infront of my gf, why should couldnt make it to the movies...we hooked up weeks before i started dating my gf...
unlike your other bad attempts and saying to her you have other options, a dj shows he has other options. Talking and even light flirting with other girls while she is there is a real way of showing that you are ready to kick your girl to the bucket if she doesn't walk the line, rather than telling her "im gonna go call my other gf,bye" which is just weak sauce that girls can spot right away.

it totally depends on context. I say stuff like the first two a lot in a teasing/roleplaying kinda way. I'm just having fun and the girl knows I'm not serious. fun is always good

if you come across serious when you say it though, you might end up looking like a tryhard (she doesn't believe you) or an ******* (she believes you)

as for the third one, I don't understand what you're trying to do

and f283000 your rule has nothing to do with this. he wanted to understand the subcommunication beneath those lines, not get referred to some lame ass rule for needy guys who stalk women

All of those are good and bad...It just depends on the tone of voice you use when saying it

well whenever i say those kinds of things on the phone or inperson she always says "the sad thing is, i can actually see you doing something like" IE. having two phones and whatever...

i just do it in a playful way...and it sounds alot better when its actually happening, its hard to explain on a forum
 

"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.

I understand what you mean. But, some girls will take it seriously and be insecure about it which, wouldn't be good. Cause I've have teased/joked about that around some of my ex's. Some thought it was funny and others took it personal. It depends on the girl and how they react to it.

The only way to figure out whether its good or bad. Is by testing it yourself.

BRUTAL TO THE EXTREME. Translation: I consider you a prostitute and just want to pop my cherry. If you are not available, I find someone who is.

Dude, these statements will make any girl feel worthless and you'll be home alone Saturday night playing 5 on 1. What girl would feel special when she thinks she is the 2nd girl on your list? Would you feel special if a girl said that to you? You would go home and cry.

3.i quickly asked another girl infront of my gf, why should couldnt make it to the movies...we hooked up weeks before i started dating my gf...

I don't understand the above statement.

Maybe your girl eats it up but she won't for long. You have to make girls feel IMPORTANT AND SPECIAL, then you will see some results.

it's only bad if you're dead serious when you say it. but if she wants you bad enough, she'll ignore it

and if you're just having fun, joking when you say it, it's usually fine. I do this ALL THE TIME, FOR FUN, and the girl laughs and plays along, she doesn't cry about it

you're getting a cold response because maybe you got a little bit of a player rep or your girl is a little insecure. or maybe you guys got some semblence of a trust issue there. regardless as long as you address the issue when you communicate with her, it's not gonna make or break anything. don't overanalyze this sht
 

"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.
