"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.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Are you exclusive? If not I wouldn't put too much thought into it. Just go a soft NC.

I wouldn't advise acting like something we revile and do everything in our power to avoid (acting beta).

I think you should step up like a man and handle business directly. We men must never forget that if the situation were reversed, any women would coldly drop you in a flash if she thought you weren't right for each other.

best way to do it is break up with her tell her you don't see this going much more and you don't really can spend as much time with her

Dear Evan,
Do nothing...Just let things flow....events have a natural synergy of their own....At the same time,get out your little black book and spin plates!
 

"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.

We assume we are exclusive but we havent really discuss this subject, I make it clear many time we are still knowing each others , but not sure how she is understanding it, I tried stay not that close from her , but she keep flirting and trying to push it more and I can understand why

I used to ponder this alot myself, but since I've started to try online dating I've had to reject so many women I've almost gotten used to it.

Most take it pretty OK, but if she tries to spin it on you (fault, disappointment) block her after a short exchange.
Don't offer to stay friends (unless you know you can and want to), do not add to facebook. Never talk again.

By the way, why do you always reply like you are super interested? You are deceiving, she might be surprised and devastated. If your interest is low then show it man... no need to use "game" just because she's vulnerable to you.

Actually I have this girl right now who I thought was a good match but I'll have to let her go. Haven't texted for days because I simply didn't think of her. Hoping it just peters out by itself but if she calls me out I will end it honest and clean.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
