"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.

We were just done eating at this Thai restaurant when I noticed this pretty attractive waitress there. I'm pretty sure the other fellas were eyeing her too. Well, we started recieving our bills and then I told the fellas that I was gonna hit on her. I let the other guys pay first so I'll be close to last. I got to her finally and then...

Her: You're paying cash?
Me: Yea

*she turns around to finish up the other credit cards ahead of me. I then proceed to look at her arse. She then turns back towards me.

Me: (I looked into her eyes) Hey... (a few seconds pause)... If I give you the rest of the change, will you give me your number?
Her: (she smiles and then shakes her head)... I'm close to 30. I'm too old for you.
Me: *shrug*

She turns around and continues to get change for others. I ended up going to another person to get my exact change.

Oh well! Even though I crashed and burned, I feel ALOT better now. I'm slowly feeling my confidence level going up again.

So here's my questions guys: What would you say to someone who uses that line?
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

"Not sure if you can handle a young buck like me?"

Well that might be too c0cky in any place other than a nightclub.

But you'll want to say something that takes her down a few notches. It'll separate you from the rest.

That's funny!

Though, the phone number for money is kind of bad !

I woulda asked some other way, perhaps broke the ice with a compliment before askin her number. Either way, good job on askin her out! ;)

I woulda responded somethin like,

Oh, I'm legal!

Hardly girl! were both in our prime!

Yeah, but its always easier to think of witty crap afterwards, isnt it! :p

I love older chicks. I'm 22, and I prefer women that are atleast like 24 or 25.

Never been with a woman thats 30ish. I'd love to, though if shes lookin good ! =)

"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.

Geeze swampwiz, did you graduate from the Mary-kay Latourneau school of dating or something?

More power to you, I guess.

Yeah . . . but at what point does that chicken become ****in' expired?
 

"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.

I'm sure that you offering to pay for her phone number with spare change had something to do with her dissing you. I don't blame her either, that was pretty bad. However you could have retorted "You look great for your age, I wouldn't mind."

Now THAT'S a neg-hit...

Hahahah great lines guys. I'll keep those in mind when I encounter something like that again.

As for the spare change thing, I had a $20. That was more then just the typical tip. *shrug*I know I know guys. It was still pretty lame of me... I couldn't think of anything during the time!

"Yeah, maybe you're right....I wouldn't want you to do your hip when we get physical"
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
