"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.

So awhile back there was this girl I was talking to. We kind of had a thing in the past, we're kind of like on/off friends with benefits thing.

Anyway, SHE started talking to ME again out of nowhere. At first I wasn't planning to jump on anything, but it was obvious she was getting interested and even more interested because I was kind of ignoring her, so she was actually kind of obsessed at one point.

So then I try to toss it around a bit, but a little moves on her, I was doing a push pull one day.. and to my suprise she kind of just rolled her eyes and acted uninterested. It was a pretty ace P-P showing some sexual interest, but I got the cold shoulder.

It didn't bother me too much, and I got over it fairly quickly, I was just a little confused about it all. I later found out she was already talking to another guy. I could tell this kid was an AFC from the start, he's a little chump. He talks to a lot of girls and has them as friends, but I think he only goes through them every week or so because he ****s **** up to much.

So I'm pretty sure he must of did something stupid, because they hung over at her house, then what do you know.... she starts talking to me again.

I'm kind of pissed off about the whole thing. I'm not even sure I want to take her back or try pursuing her again.. and if I do.. I deffinately want to let know I know what she is doing and I'm not down to play any of her games. I'm just not sure how to tell her this without seeming too much like a prick.

Who else has had this problem, and what did you do about it. What were the results?

Thanks.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I think you shoud fully assess how you feel about yourself. Try to remember exactly why you came to a site like this and how far you really want to go; as in, what kind of person do you eventually want to be? (in essence, your better self right?)

I ask you then, or rather you ask yourself, would your better self waste his time on a chick like this?

Ask that guy for advice as he obviously seems to be having better luck with women than you.
