"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 All,

Just wondering how often is a good time to be dating the same girl, date once a week? went on a date with a girl two days ago, and will be scarcely texting in the lead up to the next one but just wondering when that should be, do you do a few days in-between?

I am spinning other plates too.

Thanks
 

"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.

Ah okay fair enough, wasn't sure if I should leave time for her to miss me, or just go with it while the flames hot

No rules. See her as much as you want.
I definitely don't advise this. If OP doesn't know what he's doing, then doing what he wants isn't a good idea.

Yes, strike when the flame is hot during the date. But in regards to contacting and scheduling dates, you want her to value your time. You want her to value you. Guess what happens if you're overly available? Your value lowers. Sorry that's just the way it is. As much as we'd like to contact a girl whenever we feel like it, we should respect basic human psychology. This involves playing "the game" to some degree

In general I would not recommend more than one date per week. Even if she seems highly interested and responsive, making her wait can do wonders and is something every DJ should practice.

I do as often as I want if she has the time. If a woman doesn't want it that often she's not a woman for me. If she claims to want it but on most occasions don't have time she's not a woman for me.

Trying to make it together every day is unrealistic, unless none of you have a life. Less than once a week I consider too little, especially if the delay is on her part I assume she's too busy for anything or not interested enough. Anything between that is fine by me, I'd want to see someone I like a lot as often as possible and so would a woman.
 

"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.
