"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 my girl semi-disrespected me on accident. she invited her female friend to join my table at a club and drink my drinks.

this doesnt actually bother me but i do think she should have asked me for permission.

i didnt think anything of it when it happened (past saturday) but now im thinking i should say something because of the principle.


the only thing now is... i find it a little too late to bring this up now right? what would you guys do?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I wouldn't yell at her, but I'd bring it up in a calm, matter of fact way. All you really need to do is make your point.

"Hey remember how you let so and so join us at the table at the club? Next time, I'd really appreciate it if you asked me first."

i agree with mike.
you are only sleeping with your gf... you shouldn't have to supply her friend with drinks too.

You lost your chance. Bringing it up now would make it seem like it was a big deal to you, which it shouldn't be because you let it happen - either you didn't care at the time or you were too much of a b!tch to say something. Obviously the latter is the case here, but the former is what you should portray. Just forget about it and if it happens again correct it at that time.

i agree with this. you should have made a point right then and there. don't sweat the small stuff. choose your battles. if it happens again you know what to say now.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

OP, if it doesn't bother you forget about it no need to create unnecessary friction. Personally i don't see the problem you were in a club which is a social setting where people mingle not like say at a restaurant where it would have been rude if her friend interrupted your dinner. I assume you knew her friend beforehand, Were there situations where you invited your friends to join you? Are you pissed because her friend drank the drinks you bought?
I think even talking about this would make you look petty.

Just be cognizant of her to have a tendancy for this type of behavior and if and when it happens again nip it in the bud right then and there.

I agree with the others though that it is pretty futile to bring it up at this point. However if it is genuinely bothering you and you can't-won't let it go, then passively, albeit assertively bring it up like mike suggested.
