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.
Alright, this topic has started to bore, and I'm just overall sick of it. So I'm done with this. Unlike most of you, I have other things to do than to spam web forums, and pick up women.Mr_rogers said:
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.
Like what? Program and play musical instruments? Maybe play some Gears of War?MrConfidence said:

We know hes not doing sh*t except reading this post. He said he doesnt hang out with people outside of school. The closest mall is 45 min and he cant drive cause his parents dont like him...with that being said they dont take him anywhere, not even the family reunion. He plays world of warcraft and tries to pick up guys online cause hes bi curious since hes NEVER kissed a girl...p0wnedMr_rogers said:
Hells yeah, bro. And if you don't like it, well you can go suck a d*ck.Mr_rogers said:
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Okay, man, we all read your 2 million other posts. We know. Thing is, we don't believe you.MrConfidence said:
its over. dont dump more fuel on itMrConfidence said:
I don't care whether you believe me, or not. It's still true. But yeah, like the ADDMAN said, it's over, you can continue on if you like, that'll only show how immature you are.Mr_rogers said:

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.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Good goin' bro.oakraiderz2 said:

Please, just let this thread die. Let Mr. Confidence wallow in his own self-pity and just dont respond to this thread, or to him at all.
Mods please close this ****
