"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.

**** it all

"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.

Why are you giving someone else the power to either make you happy or make you unhappy? How pleased you are or are not with your life is entirely YOUR responsibility and choice. The second you place that responsibility onto a member of the opposite sex you're setting yourself up for disppointment.

"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.

He he...that's a hell of a lot better attitude than:

What went wrong? Should I buy her flowers? Maybe attatch a poem?

What did she mean when she said (insert ambiguous ******** statement here)?

Lol, thanks guys,

Hows that for a post from the past coming up to haunt me!

Well the good news is, I'm feeling alot better now, I just really need to get out of the small town I'm in, it's really giving me the attitude that women are a scarce resource, when in reality they are not!!

Still feel the same, but the f**k can be interpreted in a different manner now,

Cheers,
DonEdwardo
