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.
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.
Good news for us aspiring DJ's since a DJ is a hybrid of the two (more or less anyway...i'm generalizing)Most men fall into one of two categories, Marrying Men and Hardened Bachelors, aka Bad Boys.
Or to get an idea of how her last relationship panned out. The end is always in the beginning if you look close enough...When dating, he asks questions like, “What was your last relationship like?” to understand whether you qualify as a marriage-minded woman.
:crackup: :crackup:Marrying Men like being in relationships. In fact, they need them. Now, “need” isn’t a dirty word when it comes to men in relationships, because in truth, men only marry the women they need.
Umm...yeah, it's called self-independence and self-improvement. Nobody comes first but me and only me.The thing to remember about these guys is that you will never come first; he’s totally self-involved, so keep your expectations realistic.
Good observation, wutang. It's hard to keep a leash on an Amerikan woman because they aren't as loyal as Russian women.wutangfinancial said:Men come in two types, good looking and not good looking. The not good looking guys compensate by having good careers, being stable, and just being all around nice guys. They marry, out of desperation, and their women cheat on them with good looking guys, who were given the greatest gift in nature.
Look, bad boy is simply woman-ese for good looking. All women want to get a guy out of their league and tame him.

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Unemployed people contribute more.
