Elaborate plsHow is that an opener? It just sounds like a strange statement to me.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.
You joined in 2008 and have 374 posts, so I'm assuming you are not a troll.Elaborate pls
My friend and I went to have chicken wings at Costco. They came with salad and vegetables...
lol'd numerous times on this threadi also have tried the same opener more than 30 times. Never had issues before.
She probably thought O.P. was a "vegetable" himself.lol'd numerous times on this thread
What's the typical response, OP? I'm trying to put myself in her shoes and can't really imagine what she would be thinking.
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.
Seriously, have you really used that opener and it's worked? Trying to understand.Thanks guys for the input
Yes, it has. Multiple times.Seriously, have you really used that opener and it's worked? Trying to understand.
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.
how do they respond? Can you provide a few examples?Yes, it has. Multiple times.
Strange. Creepy. Odd. Mentally ill. Unstable.lol'd numerous times on this thread

This is the truth. To her, she was sexually harassed.Bottom line is the woman didn't find the OP attractive. If she did she would have had zero problems with him approaching her.
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.
OP, she didn't find you attractive. When a woman finds you unattractive, she labels everything you do and say as such.I said precisely:
My friend and I went to have chicken wings at Costco. They came with salad and vegetables...She looked at me funny and ran away. Next thing is the Security came after me.
That's what Mystery did, though.Unless there is some weird place on earth with women who enjoy strange men going up to them and spewing random information completely unrelated to them or anything in particular.
not really though, what he said had some purpose or end meaning, it would lead to a conversation.That's what Mystery did, though.
How is what you described here related to what OP described? Is the OP unattractive, is that why the lady didn't understand what he said?OP, she didn't find you attractive. When a woman finds you unattractive, she labels everything you do and say as such.
Conversely, when she does find you attractive, suddenly your ability to unlock every achievement on NBA 2K17 and Madden is sexy to her.
Hey, when I was in college, chicks thought I was sexy even though I either drove my Nissan Sentra or Dodge Intrepid. This was in 2004 when I had some popularity. I even got girls' numbers while playing my Game Boy Advance.
Point is, if she likes you and is interested, she'll make it easy and not confuse you. Guess what the opposite is?not really though, what he said had some purpose or end meaning, it would lead to a conversation.

How is she supposed to like you or be interested when you're a random stranger and the first thing that comes out of your mouth is complete gibble garble?Point is, if she likes you and is interested, she'll make it easy and not confuse you. Guess what the opposite is?
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.
