"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.

How do you establish yourself as a lover and not a provider in her eyes?

This is the trick I have been struggling with for years. I am pretty successful and a catch, and of high value, however women see me as a ''provider'' and not a 'lover' initially so i end up having to wait before i get s3x as they withhold it as they see me as long term material.

What is the key when you're on a first date for her to see you that way.. like what things should 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.

when you two are alone do things lovers do not what a provider does. She already sees you of high value so you don't have to prove that. Touch more and more. escalate the things you do to her. If you get a good response keep on going. Make it known what you want. Don't force it upon her but if she seems into it go for it. Being a provider isn't necessarily bad as long as you are a lover as well.

The difference between lover and provider is she is more itching to b@ng the lover guy. You need to get her to lust for you.

Read and follow Atomsmasher's "How to become more sexual" thread. I think it's still stickied, and is the top/first thread on the the DJ Discussion Board.

When she picks a provider it's a COMPROMISE. He's a decent looking dude that she doesn't mind having sex with at some point, but she doesn't get soaked pantes for him either. She gives up some sexual attaction in return for security/money/ good dad traits.

The lover is also a compromise. She gets hot lusty sex and sexual attraction as well as good genes. The tradeoff is a jerky, less reliable, less stable guy with less LTR potential.

You got the stability and LTR potential. You need to work on the sexual attraction side.
 

"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.
