"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.

sounds like she's trash.

my prom date (now gf) wouldn't even let me buy her prom ticket even though I offered and it was no problem money wise.

when it comes down to it this girl is simply disrespectful, and you say a lot about yourself by the people you surround yourself with, women especially.
 

"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.

I do have experience dating a lot of girls so I'm no newbie to this. I've just never been played by a girl before (if that is what's going on).
It absolutely is what's going on, my friend.

And I'm going to turn the tables on you at this point, and tell you she isn't the problem, you are.

Think about- it would be one thing to come on here and ask a polite way to bring it up, but you've already addressed it, and with absolutely nothing to back it up, she calls you out on it. She insults you, the guy who has been her meal ticket. That's seriously disrespectful for her to do, I agree, but it's also extremely beta for you to sit there and take it, prom or not (which, by the way, isn't a lot invested-having children with a woman, being in an LTR, or possible evening living together? That's a lot invested. In a year, you won't even remember who she is).

At this point, you are disrespectful to yourself. I can't honestly blame her alone for something you continue to let her do.
