"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 got into this highly selective summer research program at my school. They only take 15 people in the whole nation. Today, I found out that my one-itis got accepted as well. It's going to be very awkward for me, and it will definatly distract me from my goals.

Earlier, I was obsessed with this girl. The way she treated me made me feel like very bad, so I just stopped talking to her, and destroyed our "friendship". When I look at her, I feel like throwing up out of sadness, that's how bad I had/have it. She treats me very badly, and now that we are going to be in the same program, I know that I'm going to cave in to her games. The only way I can deal with her is by avoiding her. Now I can't even do that. What do I do?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

If this is indeed a highly selective research program, how about worrying about your career ambitions and forget even talking to this girl.

Also, there might be other people you can get to know.

The problem is that we all have to work together. I just want to stay away from her! She emasculates me every time we talk!

15 people in the whole nation and she got picked as well? What are the odds, eh?
 

"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.

Since you got into the research program, don't drop out of it because of some chick acting like a b*tch, even if she is your oneitis. The program is too good to bail on, both for the resume and the actual experience.

Consider the added drama of this girl as just another learning experience.

I'd say that you should be civil, but indifferent to her. Treat her as a coworker, nothing more. If she treats you rudely or tries to emasculate you, call her on it. If she does it in front of other people in the program, neg her to turn the tide in your favor.

Also: make sure you make some friends in the program IMMEDIATELY! They will be allies to support you when she tries to knock you down, and provide the social proof that you aren't who she says you are.

Also, what kind of 'friend' treats you like shyt?

Why don't you be an AFC (I mean, pretend to be one if you are not) and tell her you love her? According to dj theory, this will turn her off so bad SHE will avoid YOU. Problem solved.

Grow some ballz and stop letting yourself feel infatuation for girls who don't treat you right.
 

"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.
