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 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.
@Solomon likes to start sh*t with people for no reason.
Lol, yeah I've seen that. I think @guru1000 honestly has a lot of these guys fooled on this website, to the point of where if GURU has an issue with a Poster, many of these guys just automatically think the Poster is problematic.@Solomon likes to start sh*t with people for no reason.
All I do is post my opinion. This idiot starts insulting me because he doesn't like a thread I create or my position on a topic lol. What does he CARE with all this "success" anyway?
If I go on the attack.. I'm either attacking the person's position or I'm responding to an insult thrown at me. However.. I don't just go to people's threads and start calling them names like a BPD hoe.
Yeah, there is definitely some political sh*t going on on this forum. I've had that issue with @deesade where we actually agree on stuff, but the guy wants to argue with me anyway.Lol, yeah I've seen that.

I went through the same issues with @BeTheChange. I would offer him advice, congratulate him on some of the things he's working on, but for some reason that dude has contempt, hatred, and vile towards me and I have no idea why. He also claims he's black, which is even further confusing as to why a black man would hate another black man like that for no reason lol. The ONLY thing I can think of, is Guru has programmed him into doing this. He never disagrees with Guru, challenges Guru, etc.
But I must hand it to Guru, I mean the guy can really "blow smoke" up people's a.sses on here. I guess folks are just gullible, hell I don't know lol.
Excellent point lol! It's just the problem that comes when you speak from your heart or speak the TRUTH as you see it.....the reality is that at some point in time, you are going to be speaking in contrast with "certain people who currently like you" and this might turn them against you lol.Yeah, there is definitely some political sh*t going on on this forum.

I've also noticed how you often get no credit for your great posts just because you are "Tenacity". However, if another posters says the exact same sh*t, they get 20 likes lol.
Seems people here care less about FACTS and quality content and more about "who" is saying it. Pretty stupid when we often complain about double standards in marriage court, yet we inflict double standards on ourselves. How STUPID is that? LOL.
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.
