"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.

You make a good point Whitepimp, but is that something I do over the phone, or should I do it in person. If its the latter, I CAN'T until Thursday because she's out of town.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

jnice,

You do not contact her at all. You just disappear and go NC. There is nothing "to do" in person or over the phone.
Yes.. The OP does not get it yet - let me take a shot at this .

'No Contact' starts one microsecond after you make the DECISION to dump her.. There is nothing more that you need to do to be single - you are single when YOU think you want to be. She is gone when you decide that she is gone.
NO speeches, explanation. justifications, rants , meeetings or emails required.

Did you ever watch CourtTV and the judge hits that gavel hard on his desk and says "dismissed" - that is how you do it IN YOUR HEAD....now lift that gavel and slam it down....she is now "dismissed ".

When I ended my LTR early this year, one thing I regretted was that I did not do a branch swing when I had the chance. I dumped her, went NC AND looked for new poons. That was successful and I got a lot of poons this year, but I could've got very easy high quality poons if I had done the emotional withdrawal and branch swing that women typically do. As you all know, it's much easier to get more girls when you're already with one (or more). Unfortunately, those same girls were playing way too hard to get AFTER I ended my LTR. :/

If you can stomach it, go with #4 that jophil28 suggested. Else, go NC. Your chick has already withdrawn her emotions from the relationship and is shopping around right now.

Oh, I'm going NC, I just gotta get my apartment keys back 1st. I'm gonna need those! She's already started texting me last night, which I ignored. I think I'm gonna let myself into her place today and see if my keys are there. If they are, I'll take 'em, leave hers, and be done with this mess.

You could always change the locks.
 

"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.

Alright guys, got the keys back, day 1 of NC. I'll need a little time to adjust. I plan on spending a lot of time in the gym, in books, and here on the forum for the first week or so. Then I should feel like going out to sarge.

Nope, Danger. She was in town briefly last night so I showed up unannounced, simply asked for my keys, gave her hers back, and turned around and walked out the door. She's already started with the texts. I'm gonna stay strong, I'm committed to NC.
