"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.

Hot Prof, I think she wants me... what now?

Hello all,

I'm doing an exchange here in France, studying mostly music, and my prof for piano sight-reading is cute. She's at least an 8, really sweet, and also quite French. Nice.

What's more, I think she finds me attractive... it doesn't hurt to have a foreign accent, I suppose. In any case, she's not really a prof, she's like a master's student, so I'm probably about her age. But I'm in a tutorial with 7 other students at a time, so it's a bit hard to strike up a super-personal conversation in class, or to, I dunno, ask for her number in front of everyone else.

Has anybody out there seriously picked up a prof or teacher before? I could stay after class, converse with her a bit and see what happens. Do you have any ideas? Please post your thoughts. Thanks a lot everyone,

David
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"...and the project was really hard for me. And that test, boy i think i messed up. The second section i was like woah, i dont know this stuff. It was so hard, you'd have to be like a genius to get it. So i guess what i'm saying is would you suck my d!ck?"

You do realize that "picking her up" could result in her getting fired, right?

Dude, she's a fvckin TA, go for it.
 

"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.

I think theres a difference between a TA and a master's student.

LOL


For the record, it's a tutorial (no grade is given), so there's no way she would get fired. The good news is, today I did find out what her name is finally, but I had to go early so I can't stick around afterwards to ask some stupid questions heh.

get with her like you would any other girl. if her job is THAT big of an issue, then she won't (shouldn't) let it happen. Totally NOT your problem.

I have a rule about passing up chances with beautiful french women: DON'T!
