"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.

After you've had sex with a girl, and then later in the week she says she thinks it would be best if we were just friends, and then sometimes she thinks dating is fine, what would you guys do?
 

"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.

Your question is worded horribly. What I gather from what you're saying is that she said " I don't want to be an LTR but dating once in a while is ok". That's ******** for " Let's be **** buddies"

If you nail her more than once and then she tells you she wants to "just be friends," you may need to read some books on how to give a good lay.

Luveno hit it right on the mark..

But..

I have to add that if you didn't get that obvious ******** speak..I'm starting to get the feeling you might be having one-itis and wondering why would this woman turn you down for an LTR.

Is an LTR what you really want? Or, are you just putting her on a pedistal as a 'challenge'? The challenge being that your ego is wondering why she just wants FB status while you want something more.

Don't one-itis trip bro.

She's not sure if she wants to be in a LTR with you. But it seems she wants to be friends with benefits kinda deal. She doesn't want to say that "FWB" phrase so she uses the "friends" phrase. For now if this is all you got, then take it and be open to other girls if you're going to FWB this gal (just keep it on the low.)
 

"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.
