Ooh that was a badddd move by saying that lol. i second the :nono: :nono:dotcomwill said::nono:
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.

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Great just what i wanted to hearGo getta said:she's using u to make him feel jealous. you're of no importance to her. get over her and find other chicks
So no one pointed out this glaring out of place statement? You pursued no one girl between the ages of 18 through 22??? This is the height of a young man's "predatorness" - no such word but you get the point!intraining said:Yah i joined in 2003 but i havent been on this site since then because i wasnt pursuing anyone..
Last Man Standing said:Yeah kid- you said many things that you shouldn't have said -- you sounded desperate! I understand your desperation considering that you never had a relationship with a woman- but you can't act desperate and show your desperation - you gave her all the power and you were left with nothing!
Do NOT contact her unless she initiates.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Yeah, this is a classic AFC case and the very reason these boards and industry exists.paulwis said:Reading intraining's posts reminds me of my worst of worst days of AFC'dom. You don't ask her for permission, you do what you want and however she responds, whatever. In other words, you need to grow some testicles.
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.
that would be a big mistakeGangster Of Love said:Buy her flowers and then confess and tell her that you cannot keep living if it is not with her.
