"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.

Texting a girl, confusing situation which I won't go into but basically she asks to come round for a chat, hug, whatever etc.

I go back with sure, I'm around, but need to grab a shower and i'll text her when she can head over.

Her response? 'I've just found a good article for an essay I need to write and it's due soon, so maybe I'll see you tomorrow."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this one :D

If it's legit than that's jokes, if it isn't then it's still jokes!

Needless to say I'm not replying to this one.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Yep don't reply.

Women are weird creatures. They literally change their mind every 5 seconds. So there's a bit of that but also she knows it's going to feel like a missed opportunity for you and its her trying to establish her value. Blank her and she'll probably stay in a huff for a while then eventually her barriers will come down and she'll chase you.

She'll come around if she has interest. Though I wouldn't hold my breath.

Flaking is a sign of low interest. I delete the number when I get flaked on.

Case closed.

Haha yeah felt like she was just dangling **** in front of me, establishing her frame etc. Not even 60 seconds passed between my response and her own. Well **** that!

And Nismo, I won't mate. It's a complicated situation I've got myself in here so I can't cut and run (just take my word for it) but rest assured I'll be on point.

I'll give you props on not replying to her text.

Still, let her chase you. Or, if you decide to ask her out and she flakes again, she must be dropped. The low interest will be clear as day.
 

"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.

Yeah balls in her court, I'll work it from there.

Let her come to you, don't initiate any further contact with her.

She'll probably text you out of the blue next time she's in the mood for c0ck.

This is the real test here. "tommorrow" is today? Since she said this^ she's thinking your going break down and text her today. If you don't then you've passed.

Nice.

If she's playing games, which it seemed like she was (consciously or sub-consciously), and you recognize it, then it's actually rather easy to flip the switches on her, if done correctly. Most important thing for you is to stick to your guns. Easiest way to do this is to keep busy, and.....wait for it....spin plates. Simply telling a woman that you're busy so you can't see her does wonders in this regard. No need to be an a$$ or get emotional, just keep it civil and just let her know you can't see her at that time. YOU decide when you two are going to meet up. In essence, she should be changing her plans for you, not the other way around.
