"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.

I'm tryin to livin up my LTR. We are kind of at a stalemate. We were progressing normally, then we suffered a setback (her parents are overprotective and don't approve - think I'm out of the picture now). I'm 30, she's 25 in her final year of University. Her parents are paying for her education / apartment etc so until she's done she kinda has to live by their rules. Meeting me triggered serious depression with her father but he's slowly getting better.

So we moved in together but I moved out when they found out and didn't approve so we live separately. She's got another semester of school before she is independent from them. However things have gotten pretty stale between us. We see each other approx 3 times / wk. Once every two weeks we go out for dinner, order in on the other week, and I usually go over to her place twice a week to watch TV/have sex/sleep over.

Before the drama, things were great. She's a princess, spoiled only child, and high maintenance (takes 2 hrs everyday to put on her hair/makeup) so I use to use negs quite effectively. However thats gotten old and I need to add something new to my aresenal.

So my plan is to try using push pull. So how can I incorporate push pull into our LTR. I've searched the bible, Whats new, came across Active Sexual Tension and Spririt Fingers Push Pull Techniques. Ideas?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

You are too old to play push/pull games - just be a man and exhibit masculine qualities!! What attracted her to you? Then that is exactly what is going to keep her!!! You even were her live-in pimp for a season!!!

Is she a player too?

Alright boys, last time I seen her was Sunday morning after going to a movie with her Saturday and spending the night with her.

I haven't heard from her all week. I've made the decision to stop calling, normally she'll call every other day but I haven't heard from her since I left her place. I refuse to call her.

Think she is playing the same game?
