"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 hung out with a girl I used to date last night. We had a couple beers so here I am trying to get laid and after a few I shouldn'ts, we were making out.

THEN she gets all serious like "you always play games with my heart" blah blah "you've always been the one I wanted."

I just wanted to hit it again and here I am now with this girl ready to marry me. Sbe expects to hang out today and I couldn't come up with an excuse to be busy.

Ignore her calls? She's going to be in my bio class this fall.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Hmm, maybe I could call up this guy I met today at the gym to chill so I can not have to lie bout it. I just feel horrible leading this girl on like I did last night... playing women is hard when you have to suppress emotion.

I forgot, is this website about helping men become men, or a place to become an attention manwh*re? I'm sure some wish they had the same problems as you do.

Ignore what she says and go by what she does. As long as your aren't saying "I love you back" then there is no problem here.

If you want to have sex then you most likely are going to have to answer her call and make it clear you aren't looking for anything serious right now.
 

"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.
