"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.

From what I understand, a DJ should use C&F and be mysterious in most situations.

Those two things totally goes against my personality. If someone asks me a question (guy or girl), I give a straight answer. I don't like to kid around. Especially if I just met you.

Don't get the wrong impression that I'm a weirdo and have no sense of humor. That's not true. But after reading story after story, and tip after tip, I came to the conclusion that a DJ should say "stupid shit" to grab the girl.

Am I doomed to fail at the game?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

**** the stuff sosuave teaches. If it doesn't fit you, then you shouldn't do it. Not every girl will respond to being mysterious (they might actually look at your actions very different from how you look at them) or c&f. Many do c&f wrong anyway.

The important stuff is that you have courage and are true to what you really want. You will develop a style that fit you even if it isn't C&F and mysterious.

Who knows, maybe you will find a girl who enjoys dull boring conversation topics with a wisk of dry intellectual humour now and then. I won't go as far as to say that you will drive them wild with passion, lust, and desire. But I'm taking you atleast will not take any crap from people. Afterall, everything is serious whether someone is kidding or not...

JBY - Just be yourself. Don't worry about her immediate needs or whatever, you act caring/loving when you feel the need to not when she does. Well unless she wants some fkking, then yeah you should heed.

Being serious and telling it like it is has some benefits. The most obvious is that you don't screw around, i.e. you go after the girl.

But, I can see your concern. The key is to learn how to be straightforward in the right circumstances, and reserved in others. In other words, take a few moments to consider the circumstance - does she really need to know your deepest thoughts on any given subject? Of course not, just hold back. Think about times you feel you've said too much, or been too honest, and ask yourself why. Try to apply the lessons learned from those experiences and you'll be fine.
 

"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.

If you have a sense of humor then use it. Be a light hearted, up-beat, happy-go-luckey kind of guy. Thats all you need, be congruent with yourself, not all the other guys on the internet.

But after reading story after story, and tip after tip, I came to the conclusion that a DJ should say "stupid shit" to grab the girl.
You've got it right. They say "stupid shit".

Most of this ****y/funny, neg hits and all that other wanna be BS is just for ugly guys that have no game. Dont think that you have to do ANY of that to pull women. There's so much more to attracting women than being ****y/funny and mysterious.

Thanks guys.

My personality was seriously bugging me out. But I can't be anyone except myself.
