"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.

So I meet this chick on a introduction to salsa class. Once the lesson was done, I went outside to make a phone call. Upon my return, I was looking at the other girls and I was playing to make my move on this girl.

Another girl come close to me, approaches me and we ended up exchanging phone numbers.

So I was trying to set up a date and I get it with this text message:

''Thanks for following up badboyjmm, you seem like a nice guy but I think you may be a bit too young for me. I'm 27 and usually date older guys... Sorry. Hopefully we can be friends.

Interesting since I'm 26 :crackup:

Anyways I point out the fact that we are pretty much the same age, she reply:

''Lol am I being nuts'' ''Anyway thanks for understanding''

I didn't reply nor that I plan to but I think that I dodged a bullet (although the girl was pretty cute)

Thoughts ?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"You seem like a nice guy"
"Hopefully we can be friends"

One insult per sentence so far, 1,5 if you count the vain, patronizing "Sorry". This girl is making her intentions (beta orbiter acquisition) clear as day. She wanted another piece of debris in her asteroid belt so badly she even came up and exchanged numbers to do it! damn, she must be starving for validation. I guess she wants to complete the ego nourishment she gets from her OLD accounts with something more tangible.

"Anyway thanks for understanding"

I presume she said that without "provocation" and if so, haha, man. She really wants to make sure you get it. Did you dodge a bullet? hell yeah. That girl is vain, patronizing and manipulative.

She's just trying to collect orbiters, get validation. "Be friends" = buy me drinks at the bar while I flirt with other guys in front of you. It's all pratice dude don't let bother you. Find sum chicks in their early 20's! They see you as older. She was honest she likes older guys which usually means more $ and possibly tighter game.

They are ALL bullets dude, dodge them all! :crackup:

Metaphorically speaking, yes. 'Asteroid Belt'. Funny term.

This is the reality of the situation. Stupid bvtches.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
