"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.

How's this for a pick-up line ?

It's more like a "pick-up paragraph", but i just thought of it and it seems to have some potential.

Have a paper pad and a pen in your hand. Find a chick you like and tell her the following, while displaying your best smile:


You: Hey, would you like to participate in a short 4-question survey?

Her: Yeah... (if she says no, well, tough luck)

You: Ok, question 1. What is your name?

Her: Karen

You: You're doing great!:D Now, Karen, are you currently seeing someone?

Her: *blushes* yes / no (keep going even if she says yes)

You: Question 3. On a scale from 8 to 10 (emphasise the numbers), how attractive do you find me?

Her: *laughs* From 8 to 10? haha... Well.. 10?

You: Fabulous! Now, would you be willing to go out with me, say, this next week-end?

Her: yes / maybe / no (tough luck again)

You: in case she says maybe say "I'll take that as a yes", then say "Great! you qualify for the bonus question, question number 5! What is your phone number?


Notes:

After each answer she gives, carefully write it down. Have columns for each new girl and fill in the info they tell you.

I think this approach is good because it eases the tension on both sides, because it has a bit of sense of humor. It also gives you the edge in the discussion, because you are basically testing her to see if she qualifies for a date with you.

If anyone wants to try this (pugsley, maybe?), please do, and reply here with the results.
 

"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.

Hey, you dont even need to memorize anything. The questions will be already written on the survey paper and you will be reading them.:D

Man, try it out. I'm anxious to see your results, and quite frankly, i am positive you'll get some phone numbers.


Brenbaus i don't think there is any chance for you to get slapped. The girls will find that mostly amusing, not irritating.

Some of the girls at my school are really prissy, so you never know...
 

"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.

ok, i got the pen/paper, and i wrote the questions down. i'll do it tomorrow. it's definitely not my style, and i'm skeptical...but i think it will be fun. and don't worry, i'll put in effort so even though it's not my style, i'll give it 100% and that way, the results will be more meaningful (i won't half-ass it).

i don't doubt the getting numbers part...i just don't think they'll amount to anything.

i'm hoping i can build rapport after the survey, and that might help avoid flakes...we'll see :woo:

and i seriously doubt you'd get slapped for this...haha, i know you think so Brenbaus, but that's most probably not because of what you think, but because most probably you don't do cold approaches often...so you're expecting the worst...do more approaches, and you'll see that it's actually not so bad, and rejection is a joke.

Instead of asking how attractive she thinks you are,

ASK her

You : in a scale of 5-7, how attractive do you think you are....

LOL :D :D :D

IF she is model type, lower the range of numbers... LOLOL :D :D

And Instead of ask if she will Go out with you... Say this

You : I Have a friend who may be interested in meeting you... He is real confident, and picky.... *Gaze into her eyes* silence

her : silence

You : I think we'll be great friends, whats your number..

She : NO WAY YOU CREEP YOU ARE SO UGLY..

You : Pause for 5 seconds while Smiling

You : change subject to school or parties or friends

Ask her

You : Your such a nice person, how about we get some tea together on your break or after school...

you'll be suprised :)

"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.

This pick-up line is CHEESY. Why not use the conventional methods. Pick-up lines are WAY too risky and can backfire on you if you're not attractive. The only time i'd use a pick-up line would be on a girl who has low confidence or is less than an 8.

True!

But it doesn't mean we can't try it just for the hilarity factor! :crackup:
