"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.

I need a little help here. I have been in with this sort of thing for a long time, but have no idea how to put it to use, or take action on it. It's just that I find it hard to understand certain things, like how to mix ****y and funny. I can EASILY act ****y but I know it has the opposite effect on its own, I am no good at making it funny.

So in short, do any of you guys know any movies where the main character, or one of them, has Don Juan qualities, and acts confident, funny, dominant, etc. etc.

I'd find it tonnes easier to understand and use it then.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

George Clooney in From Dusk Till Dawn is pretty much the ultimate DJ.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

James Bond. Sometimes it's corny, but there are some good examples of ****y and funny there.

Yeah, Fight Club is a good movie. James Bond was a good suggestion too.

Idk how "DJ" these movies are, but they're deffinately alpha male, and make me feel like a badass everytime I watch them.. Scarface and the Godfather. You aren't a real man until you've seen those.

"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.

Thank you for suggestions, also will find out more about Christian Bale. Watched From Dusk Till Dawn and it was surprisingly helpful...

This might sound like a weird suggestion, but Mr. Woodcock is another good movie too. What helps the most about watchin this is that the two main characters, Farley and Mr. Woodcock, are betas and alphas respectively. So it's easy to distinguish what you should and should not do. To make it more clearer, study Mr. Woodcock's character, and learn from Farley's mistakes. To be honest Mr. Woodcock is one of the most alpha characters I've watched. He's up there with James Bond IMO.
