"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.

Anyone got the same issue here. After understanding game, the relationships with friends, family, employers, school mates seems empty..
Life seems empty.. Right now I feel like traveling around the world.. Like that seems to be the only interesting thing left. No relationship has any attraction for me anymore. I guess I will live with puppys from now on :woo:
 

"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.

Cant say I do. If anything its made my relationships stronger.

In any case id say fuk the relationships with everyone then, and try to figure out what drives you in life. Think career wise and hobby wise and just own the sh1t out of them. For me...i have one semester left of school to become a personal trainer and my hobbies include poker, golf, sports, country music. These things absolutely make me happy and you need to find things that do this for you. Sure, golf and sports can be frustrating when you lose....but the competition i feel is necessary for men.

So here is an example of a recent Saturday:

-Wakeup
-Study my ACSM materials(Personal Trainer Certification Test)
-Study/Play Poker
-Go to the gym
-Go tailgate for a country concert(finds HB to hook up with and slams it)
-Bed

So you see im doing stuff all day that i thoroughly enjoy. Game doesnt even really come into play until late in the day when i start drinking, but even then its presence is minimal because i have internalized knowledge ive learned, so its just second nature now. I dont go to the concert "looking to hookup", but im a social guy and when everyone drinks....everyone is friendly. One thing leads to another and bam.

So you see the emphasis is on MY LIFE and MY INTERESTS. Not game and not women. Find those things and start enjoying life again.

Been there to....slowly crawling out of it and am beginning to find myself, which is been pretty fun, and its only the tip of the iceberg for me. My hobbies include sports and poker to. I am trying to get in to making music as a way of self enjoyment fullfillment and a way to bring the best out of myself

This^

Like i said, find your passion and you'll be fine. Just because you understand something doesn't mean you completely own it by the way. You have members that understand game as well and they are still posting about girls that they're confused about.

There's a lot to life, including mystery.
