"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.

is it worth cold approaching without eye contact first?


I have found that most of the times women will at least chat with me for a while and give me some time if we both get eye contact first. If I approach without her acknowledging me first the approach goes cheesy.



what do you guys think ?
 

"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.

If I ever did cold approach, I'd have some excuse. Even if it's just something as stupid as 'accidentally' bumping into her, saying sorry, and then continuing from there. But then I guess it's not completely cold.

Cold approaches work best when you're hot. Really, really hot.

“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.

Saki,

I'm a guy.


nomoremisterniceguy,

I check her out BEFORE the 'bump'. After the bump I apoligize, ask her if she spilled anything or something, then smile and walk away. Then come back later. She'll at least recognize me on the second approach.

I'm puerto rican. And my name used to be Alexis (which in spanish cultures is a guy's name). Since I live in America, my family foresaw the future problems of being "Alexis" and dropped the "s". So "Alexi" still causes confusion over the internet, but not so much in real life.

It works.

no biggie. It's the net. Mistakes are bound to happen.

Of course you can approach without eye contact, stop being a ***** and just do it.

I agree with bobob. I cold approached a HB last week, talked for less than 3 min., got her #, and had a date with her this past week. It works. Not always, but don't believe the crap about cold approaches not working. They do.

honestly though, what the hell do you have to lose from a cold approach

ya it might be going kind of bad since she never showed any eye contact first because she would be caught off guard

but sometimes it is hard to make eye contact with someone that you want to meet, so f*** it and just do it !!!

lose your own believe that cold approaches DO work and start to believe what love doctors preach that
"you cannot pick up strangers"


I've read the book "The System" by Roy Valentine which states that in order to not get rejected never approach without any signs from her.

I see from my experience that I may be had lost several opportunities.
 

"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.

I would never approach without some kind of signal, but that's just me.

How I see it, the odds are always stacked against guys who approach women without signals because...

She could be in a relationship, not looking, not attracted to him, in a bad mood, in a rush, too shy to talk, too cautious, a b1tch who enjoys humiliating you, a tease, a flake, or may be intimidated, annoyed, offended, embarrassed or just turned off by guys who approach.

In fact, there's a very minimal chance you are going to get a positive response from a direct cold approach.

If she's purposely making eye contact, at least she's expressing an invite to approach.

Last night, I saw a chick who was a dead ringer for the girl who plays Kelly Osbourne's hot cousin in that cable TV highschool drama with the midget psychologist. She walked past me in the bar without looking at me. I noticed her choker necklace made from tiny dominoes. I stopped her by grabbing her arm when she was almost past me and gently pulled her back in front of me. I acted almost preoccupied and told her I wanted to check out her necklace as I touched it and her neck. We got into a cool conversation and she ended up being pretty funny and friendly.

EC is not necessary. Who cares if the "odds are stacked against you?" It's up to men to make it happen. Sure I was crazy peacocked but having a strong dominant frame is all that really matters. In fact, peacocking itself can convey a strong frame because you're living in your own funky reality and don't give a fvck that you aren't fitting in with the crowd. Frame is key.

I agree that the odds are stacked up against you, but after taking the initiative to make the cold approach, you feel good about yourself that you had the cojones to do it.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.
