"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.

Ok so I am sort of friends with this HB8.5. I met her during my sort of busy/depressed phase, and sort of kept her around as a possible future ****buddy. Didn't **** her yet, but just hung out a couple times when i didn't have anything better to do.

She is totally the ice queen/golddigger type, but unlike most of the guys she knows, i never acted like a dog with my tail wagging around her, always put her in her place when she acted like a golddigger, etc. And I remained a mystery to her, like she is still confused about what i do, how i'm so cool (LOL) and so on. For all i know she thinks im a secret agent or a drug dealer.:p

Anyways, so she wanted me to come to her birthday, bring her gifts - well i ignored her, and then i got busy with other **** and forgot about her.

A week or two passes.. She starts calling me and leaving me messages, asking me how I am, acting like she really misses me..

And this is not the first time it happened like that with a chick. Works every single time for me, the more you act like you don't care, the more they want you. Like another chick i havent talked to in a couple weeks saw me online yesterday and messaged me something to the extent "im tired and studying, bring me some coffee, i can use a good ****"

Oh yeah, and I pretty much could have f-closed her a while ago, but didn't for a couple reasons. :cool:

Disclaimer: i wouldn't do this with every chick, but for some it works really well. Just use your judgement. If your dreamgirl is all into you and you think you might have a chance to get her, ****-ing close her now, don't ignore her, you might not have a chance later. Little sluts you just consider for ****buddies, however, are great candidate.
 

"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.

True. But overexpressed. The idea that ignoring the girls who get attention gets their attention is old. No offense, but this post is redundant.

Hmmm...I find myself in this situation right now.

Met this girl a long while back. She was probably a HB6 back then but she was cool and we shared interests, so we got friendly. I went away for a while, came back, she'd turned into an HB8 in a caterpillar-butterfly stylee. So I made a play for her and fvcked up royally. She was into some other guy and she's the type to obsess about one at a time.

Now, I hate to lose, but I know a waste of time when I see one, so I wrote her off.

It was harsh because we were pretty good friends and she's a shy girl, so she doesn't make friends easily - but I know that I couldn't really be friends with a girl when I'm thinking of her naked all the time.

Ignored her.

Ignored her.

...

Now, about 4 months later, I'm getting silly, irrelevant texts from her. So I thought to myself, it's now or never.

There's a big meet up between a bunch of mutual friends and acquaintances coming up in another town and I was organising a hotel for some of us, so I dropped in casually to her that if she wanted to join us, I could arrange another space. She said she'd check with work.

Now she's saying she's not sure if she can come.

I'm not sure if this is a shyt test of some sort - an effort to get me to beg her - or if she's just gone back to her flakey ways.

I'm just playing a "come-or-don't-come-not bothered" game at the mo'. See where it goes.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

It's just cat-stringing them.

Hell, I ignore girls all the time. But that a lone won't get you laid. You have to gain their attraction first.

I do this....but when you DO not ignore them and get together even for ONE time, then they'll start ignoring you and LJBFing you!

Re: Indifference instead of ignore

I think you guys are misconstruing the word "Ignore", for "indifference." This means approach her, but also approach other women in her presence. Make her feel like she doesnt turn you on. Then she will love you! The ignore approach doesnt work if you arent getting other girls. Being approachable and charming among the women is best approach because you treat them all the same. Women love competition and a challenge. They want to break in the wild stallion!
a chick literally told me yesterday " i love a challenge"

the more of a ****y demanding ******* i was to her, the more she was into me..
 

"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.
