"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.

"Missed Opportunities of the Past" #1

OK. Here is the first in a series of accounts of my missed opportunities from the past. With most of them, i'm pretty sure what happened but others were a bit more tricky to read. So I'm sharing to get some community analysis...


The year was 1991. Daytona Beach, Florida. Fall semester at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I was a green, wet-behind-the-ears, freshman-away-at-college, virgin, wanna be fly-boy. I was also an fundamentalist Christian who believed he was prohibited from laying a girl outside of marriage. But that didn't stop me from roaming the field, Chump Style.

Somehow, i find myself talking to this cute, jeep-driving blond from Texas outside of the ground school class we're both enrolled in. I HAVE NO F*CKING IDEA HOW I DID IT, but i ended up at her off-campus apartment, just the two of us...at night. We are sitting on her living room floor, talking for several hours. We are about a foot apart facing each other. She's cute. She's hot. She's a lively thing with a Texas drawl. I want to kiss her. I want to touch those smooth legs right there in front of me...just inches away. And...I never make a move the entire night. Of course, neither does she. Women are not the action gender, as i NOW know. Eventually, the night ends (read: she tires of waiting) and she drives me back to my dorm, probably close to 1 or 2AM, IOW, late. The next time we are in class, i make the extraordinarily-AFC move of sitting RIGHT NEXT TO HER instead of my USUAL seat across the room - a move everyone in the class had to notice. Needless to say, her demeanor couldn't have said "Get lost, clipped-wing Virgin Boy" any louder. And that was the end of that little chump-tastic episode...

Post-flight debrief:

This first scenario is quick and easy. I think Texas Fly-Girl, fresh on campus, hundreds of miles from Ma and Pa, wanted to grab my joystick and take to the air. Sitting as she was, facing me, in very close proximity, in her apartment, at night, with no one else around was a ripe situation. But instead of scoring that first victory, i ejected...or should i say, she just parked me back in my hanger. (OK, that's the last of the aviation puns...). Simply a classic case of the AFC afraid of his own male sexuality...

"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.

Episode One

The year is 1991. Daytona Beach, Florida. Fall semester at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I was a green, wet-behind-the-ears, freshman-away-at-college, virgin, wanna be fly-boy. I was also an evangelical Christian who believes he is prohibited from laying a girl outside of marriage. But that didn't stop me from roaming the field, Chump Style.

Its okay, It hurts to think about past experiences like this but i know exactly how you feel. How about me? Alone with this really cute spanish girl one summer night, she takes a cab to meet up with me and hang out. at one point during that night she tells me "See these panties? They smell like watermellon" I just stood there and didnt make a move all night. she got back into a cab 3 hours later and we never hung out again. :eek: Wait.....:eek: Thinking about this experience makes me wanna..............:eek: PUKE.!! UGH i hate myself really bad sometimes....:rolleyes:

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

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.

Gstarplayer....very good description...doesn't it sometimes feel like ya want to relive some of those moments back in time and see what it would be like if we had the knowledge of game in our heads as we do now?

I too have been in a situation like that, a girl at a frat party touched me as i walked by...she gave a sexy seductive smile, i go to grind with her(all up into it)...after we grind 2-3 times, my arm is caressing her lower back and she's really close to me talking with her about random stuff. I wanted to kiss her, but since i feared my loft would break if i brought her back to my place(Since the bed moved a bit when i moved around).....and after about 10 minutes....she walks awaay as i took too
Dayum long...shame...would've been a good night ;-)
