How many of you actually play out and practice a lot?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I play the guitar for like one hour a day... I love playing Coldplay songs, and now, I know all the Coldplay songs' guitar solos. They're not so hard, though, but as I love Coldplay's music, i like playing their songs. The solos in Shiver, Moses, Talk and Got Put A Smile Upon Your Face are maybe the hardest ones to play, but I play them all, without any problems.
I also know a couple of Guns'n Roses solos, like the solos in Estranged and of course Sweet Child Of Mine. And there's a lot of Queen songs in which there are cool solos to play. The solo in Let Me Live (from the Made In Heaven album) for example, is a really nice one to play.
Master freestyle's and you're in.
I write a lot of my own music, and i've come across a lot of really basic chord progressions (C Am F G for example) that are really easy to just throw words into. I'll start off with some little intro i've written then go into simple stuff like that but sing about the girl who's right in front of me...it takes some wit and quick thinking, but if you can recall some facts about her and throw them in the song, even if it's a little off, just make it rhyme and she'll love it.
I'd say at least original tunes is the best....everyone plays other people's music and at least around here, everyone knows the crappy songs that everyone always plays....so the only way to get anywhere is to be original.

I'm just picking up guitar, a couple of my friends can totally rock out and inspired me to finnally pick it up. I can play a lot of Nirvana stuff and am trying to learn a few kick ass solos. Learn guitar because you want to, else finding the motivation is going to be hard.
Edit: I can play the theme to Super Mario, while its not quite sexy it is pretty cool.
"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.

Exactly. There have been way too many suggestions that have been metal and hard rock songs, and while girls will definitely see you as talented if you play those songs for them, they won't adore you like they will if you play a softer, more romantic song. Go with acoustic.
Void and Dimebag had the best suggestions so far.
Here's the best IMO (a few have already been mentioned):
Wonderwall- Oasis
Taylor- Jack Johnson
Bubbletoes- Jack Johnson (pretty much any Jack is good)
Wonderful Tonight- Eric Clapton
Blackbird- The Beatles
Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd
pretty much any John Mayer
and the best one: Crash- Dave Matthews Band. Girls will melt when they here you play that song, and it's not that difficult.

I play an Agile AL-2800 Les Paul through a Peavey XXX head and cab or a Roland Cube.
The bands you mention use humbucker pickups, they do make humbuckers that fit into a single coil slot though, not sure the exact make but Seymour Duncan makes them.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
