"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.

Pretty much what the title says.

I have a few "circles" of friends, and i try not to mix them together. One circle has the guys i grew up with and like hanging out with. The rest are pretty much just for getting girls. not sure if that's messed up, but whatever. My guy friends aren't even close to "red pill aware" or whatever you want to call it. It's rare for a girl to show up in that group unless she's dating one of us.

A close friends's GF has been bringing her friend around, mostly so she could meet me. Obviously that's awesome, except i'm not attracted to this girl...

She's been getting more and more aggressive in flirting with me, and I know soon it's going to turn into her straight up asking me, or trying to make out with me.

I've "rejected" girls in the past with "im not looking for a relationship" and similar excuses, but i'm wondering how you'd handle it when your close friends are involved.

basically i want to avoid getting on these girl's bad side in case a girl i like comes along.
 

"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.

Dont think about "what if's". Your seeing the true nature of game and how counter-intuitive it is. The more you ignore her/dont reciprocate...the more attracted she becomes to you.

Keep doing what your doing. When the time comes a simple "Your not my type" works.

This is an imaginary "problem". I've had many girls come onto me over the years whom I've had no interest in.

Take some time to think about how a woman in your "circle" who had no sexual interest in you would react if you came onto her. Think about how unapologetic she would be over her lack of interest. At best should would exploit your interest in her or "friend zone" you. At worst she would be a b!tch about it or avoid you.

So what should you do? --> NOTHING.

A man doesn't have to explain himself when it comes to attraction or a lack thereof. If you must say something.. say: "I can't". If she asks why, say: "I just can't". Then change the subject. :up:

No explanation is necessary.

As said above, you are worried about what to say to a girl who you don't like on the off chance her friend may bring a girl you do like around to date? Low odds.

If push comes to shove, just say "you are a very sweet sweet girl, but not my type."

Do what women do. Pre-emptively call her a friend.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
