"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.

Well, you don't see me talking about my girlfriend.

Problem solved.

Edit: kudos to those who assume I'm suddenly gay from reading the thread title :p
 

"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.

You should never hear that word - even if she has one.

I generally agree, but some girls are just waiting to be dragged away from them, I say take such steps based on her interest level, if she disses you straight out then it's definitely a no-go.
I've got the "I have a boyfriend line" From several girls before, some of them were bored of their pathetic boyfriends (Wouldn't give them good sex, believe it or not!) and won't switch out for you unless they can put the blame on something else. Doesn't matter to me though.

You must be young because a seasoned guy will be able to read and distinguish her sub communication cues while dispeling resistance to further initiate reciprocation...but im not getting into that for now. However, I want to stay on point by saying for ONE, why do you want some ***** that already has a collar? You want to lick from the same bowl for some ego trip go for it. TWO, why do you think a girl who will hop on your ass with a boyfriend makes you think you have some mighty game? Boy, you are a pigeon. Go after girls who are single because all you are doing is teaching girls you are a plausible deniable side dish to her at home main course (or is that secured course) And for all you know the guy she is with is fed up with her ****.

If you must...and she is hot... Flick her and dump her next to tomorrow's news, because you know she will either be searching classifieds for a new guy, or going to piss on someone else's paper. Stay fresh man.

Dude, calm, I have multiple plates, these girls are just side-dishes for me as well.
 

"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.

Fair.

For another wonderer here then :)

The boyfriend scenario might be their cup of tea.
