"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.

That's why it's easier to go into their house for this sort of thing, their comfort level will be a bit higher than bringing her in your space.
On the other side if you manage to make them comfortable in your space it will make a stronger positive impression. I prefer taking them to my place, but I'm very aware of how that makes them feel and know how to counter it.
 

"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.

I went out with this girl monday night it was target practiced. I picked her up from her house (she lived near hood area) She was fat so that wasn't a great thing. I thought well I am just gonna try to get laid. So, I noticed I was relaxed and cool which she I guess that got the vibe from me so we was both pretty chill. We went and had drinks and I felt like I rushed it and said you ready to go? I literally just drove to my house and she was like where are we going? I said to my house to hang out a little bit. I felt a little weird because I didnt mention anything so it was a little awkward. I tried to make a move after when I put netflix on she was like i dont think so nice try. I wasn't very happy I tried to do a freeze out and then she asked where you at when i went in the bedroom. I said I am on computer. Then she was saying had to leave in a bit I said you ready to go now. Then we talked on the way back and I said you think I was cool? She said yeah she did and had a good time she said it was just weird at the end. I said yeah I got back in the game trying to work out my kinks excuse those. And said I am trying to be that alpha male mindset you know what i mean? She was a little like yeah said I was a bit in the middle I felt like a dumbass I dropped her off then yeah lmao. So, that was stupid but practice.
Wtf bro. At first I thought you were just inexperienced and overly aggressive, but the end made me think you're trolling.

1.) NEVER pick a girl up on a first date.
2.) Why would you waste time with a chick that's gross?
3.) You just said "let's go" and went back to your place without telling her? Lmaaaaaoooo that's super creepy dude.
4.) You then just eft her alone in the room cause she didn't want to f*ck? Holy sh!t this is GOLD. You should've just taken her home that instant.
5.) Asked her if you were cool? Huh?
6.) Said you're trying to be an "alpha male?" WUT.

We've all had bad dates, but man this is another level of awkward...

True, the entire "great host" concept.

I can vouch for him. He isn't a troll. He just needs help and guidance. That is what we are here for.
