"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.

Hello guys!
Warning: This is going to be long, so yeah, bear with me.
In fact, the main reason I'm writing here is just to have some attention from you guys. I want you to feel pity for me. Like heey look, I feel miserable, come and pity me. And obviously I know that nobody cares. It's like I get stuck in this over-thinking patterns. I'm saying gibberish right now because my ego craves for drama like this.
The most recent example I can give was yesterday: went to eat something with a girl only because i gave my phone to a coworker and he texted her instead of me. And guess what? I did great, I even got to her home only to stay 3 ****ing hours on the couch like a pathetic beta afc torturing the poor girl. She just couldn't gave me more signs to make a move and guess what? I just couldn't. In the last 10 min. of me staying there was spinning chaotically in her kitchen and asking her how is this possible? like hoooowww? she even put me to write it down. Eventually I left, leaving her there.
And then I get frustrated and cry in pubs bathroom why I can't get intimate with a girl. And the funny part is that girls really like me and I crave as well to be intimate with them, but when anything intimate starts to arise I RUN.
Maybe because my mother was overprotective with me, or because I haven't seen any sweet loving gestures from my father towards my mom, i just don't know.
And all this lack of intimacy with girls makes me bitter and sad. Perhaps I'm narcissistic and misogynistic at the same time. Many years I've kept dreaming about having a girlfriend, but always lying to others. I can't have a girlfriend, I don't want one. And never got one.
Since the beginning of the year I've started reading and watching videos like crazy about this topic. Like RSD, books from ekart tole, david deida, Rollo Tomasi, how to get red pilled and other many stuffs. And now my biggest fear is not getting trapped in a relationship.
Furthermore this fear of intimacy with girls makes me somehow think I might be gay. In a non sexual way I find talking and doing activities with men more interesting and exiting than with women. Even though I consider myself an open minded person and non judgmental at all, I still have troubles with my sexuality (because I've never been taught? anyway, a silly reason but yeah...).

Update: told her to never see me again cuz I'm a loser. Hurray. Yeeees.

Wish you all the best in the world guys!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I have a feeling I'm about to make you suffer very soon unless you turn out to be legit.
And actually that's the truth. Just turned 24 a week ago and I'm a software engineer. And I just can't figure it out why I'm so scared getting intimate with girls...

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Troll or not, it's true that some people aren't comfortable unless they are unhappy. Some truly are scared of success, because they haven't had it, and wouldn't know what to do with it.
