"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.

Hi guys,

Real quick one,

Been dating a HB 6 (7 on best day) for around 6 weeks now

I'm constantly getting messages from her saying she misses me etc, but I'm pretty busy with life, work etc.

On the whole, I've been dating her maybe once week average, when were both free and she recently asked for us to go exclusive, which I agreed was OK.

Is once a week about the right amount of dates per week at this stage?
I mean I like her and everything, but I don't want to overdo it

Regards

"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.

Once a week is about right only a month and a half into a relationship. Twice a week once in a while is OK too, but certainly no more.

I've posted this a few times in response to such questions.
If you just want to keep her as FWB for as long as possible, follow my 10 rules.

1. I saw them twice a week at most.
2. I didn't contact them between meetings and curtailed any attempts by them to initiate contact with me. Sometimes I'd go a couple of weeks without seeing them and only maintaining light and sporadic text contact to keep them engaged.
3. Made it clear that I was a confirmed bachelor and not ready for a serious relationship.
4. Never took them out on dates. Just organised to meet at mine or theirs (usually theirs so I could make an excuse to leave). Maybe take a bottle of wine and talked for an hour before getting down to business. Either that or organise to meet them out at a bar but only when I was already going to be out with friends.
5. Absolutely, positively no sleepovers.
6. No deep and meaningful conversations or "pillow talk". I'd bust a nut and be gone or indicating to them that they had to leave within 30mins. Except if I was feeling particularly horny and then I'd stick around for round two but always obeyed the "no sleepovers" rule.
7. No Facebook friend adds or acceptance of their friend requests.
8. Never made them a priority. I made it bluntly clear that I was my main priority and not always available. Unapologetically so.
9. At the first hint of drama, jealousy, butthurt-ness, neediness, catching feelings, psychotic indicators or withholding of sex, they were nexted. No explanation, no official break up. I would either pull right back until their behaviour improved or I just went ghost.
10. Basically just made it brutally clear that I was "Mr Goodfvck" whom was available to give them carnal pleasure but no emotional support.
