"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.

Have you walked from a girl who was playing games and did she get better?

Just wondering if you guys have had real life experiences where a woman started playing games as being hot and cold..intersted then not.. Have you walked away and they lifted their game? I am going through something like this now...Id appreciate it guys.
 

"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.

Yes. I have walked to try to get a reaction and I have walked because I had enough. The funny thing is it only works when you don't care to come back. In my experience, the fastest way to get a reaction from a female that is hot/cold is to start dating other women that are comparably attractive. Generally they will flip out and do anything to get you back. On the off chance she doesn't, it's even better as you will have plenty of women to choose from that actually have an interest in you.

Yes, I've walked away after a chick I was banging decided all the sudden to try games like that, and go out with me and then on the way home tell me how she was going to disappoint me and sleep at her own place, without explanation.

I never called her again. The moment a chick starts playing games with my mind, or attempts to, I'm out, and I won't go back. Men their biggest leverage is walking away. If a chick is playing games with you, she thinks she has the power in your interactions or thinks you're some kind of toy.

I honestly don't care about fixing it up. If she does that sort of sh*t, what makes you think she won't do it in the future or doesn't lead you on? Just dump her ass.

I really liked this woman but you know what? I like me more. If she cant effing send a text..or call then what is the point?
Im gonna miss her but i wont miss being treated rudely...Im walking.. If she goes nuts and begs I may change my mind.
This has been a great wake up call to the games women do play.
Maybe they love the powerplay to keep us down. I am sick of womens bsgames. I am not gonna just have one in the background..but a few. First in best dressed! I have what they want and Ill never be the romantic doormat ever again!

hey man, i was in a very similar situation..my advice..

back off. withdraw your attention slowly and start dating other women. make yourself scarce and stay busy.

don't do it too fast, or she will smell you out and call your bluff. most of the time it raises her IL..if it was high at one point.

or cut your losses and move on and walk away completely..seems like you are into her, so don't next her too quickly..also, how long have you been seeing her? that info is important.

in my opinion, chicks like this are not worth your time, unless they are just fb and you are not getting emotionally attached.
 

"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.

Yes, once you start to show indifference, women will often try harder. But my advice would be to take the lay if you can, but don't get serious with a girl like that. As always, keep spinning other plates.

Girls who play games are not LTR material. If they're playing games with you before you're even in a relationship with them, you can be almost certain that they will use all kinds of manipulation when you are in relationship.
