"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.

I want to close the deal properly.

I hope you can help me here guys!

Ok, I'm a tradesman and I'm about to work in this small museum next week where one of the female assistants is very nice.

I know her name, and I have talked briefly to her before. When I say we talked we done a bit of flirting but with our bosses near-by it was kept brief.

Examples are:
She would ask how my new house was and I said it is ok but I hate ironing and she replied "I'll iron for you".
Silly things really. I made her laugh at least. I hid her pen and watched her hunt for it for a while before I "found" it and she would give me this kid-on angry look.
I left my jacket in her bosses office and I went to get it, she said that her boss went home early, and takes the key home. I believed her untill I found the door unlocked to which she burst out laughing.

OK, enough of all that, which was a while ago. Now I want to get to know her better and get a date with her.
I'm involved in an Xmas show (I'm an ameature actor) in my home town near where she lives and I was thinking about asking her to come and see me in it? I have already mentioned it to her and she said she would (but we never really arranged it).

I went in last week to arrange the work to be done and I was speaking to her boss infront of her. I got the impression that she would have really talked to me had it been just us. What I mean is that she is quite reserved infront of the boss but quite open in public (I've met her at the local shops before). I noticed that her left hand is ring-free!!!

The thing is, the day the work is arranged for, her boss is on holiday and I'll be working with her and another assistant. I see a chance and don't want to screw it up!

Any advice? Should I visit before I do the work that day? maybe to double confirm?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Bobby,

She seems there for the taking. Don't fvck things up by "Double Checking" - or going all AFC (look it up) on her.

Go to work - and at the first oportunity, why not ask her if she has lunch plans - or if she wants to go grab a drink after work.

Keep things simple - usually works best.

:woo:

Every woman who's ever offered to do things around my house has always had high interest level. Make plans to get together with her. Wherever, whenver...before she thinks you're not interested and moves on.

Well, I went in to her work last week to arrange the maintenance I'm doing on Monday. I got good vibes off of her. I'm nvolved in a local Xmas show and I asked her to come and see it. She said yes and asked where it was dates etc. When I took a slip of paper out of my pocket to give her the available dates, she came round and stood right next to me (to my left hand side) and asked me "what day do I recommend?". So, I told her to come on the Friday night and she immediately wrote it down on a post-it note. We then had a joke about what time I would arrive on Monday to do the work. She then said I'll have the tea ready for you. I said that I'd supply the biscuits and she laughed and said "good, because you ate all of ours last time! no, its ok we have biscuits".

Looks good for asking her out for a drink on Friday do you think?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
