"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.

There's a lady who I've been messeging back and forth on myspace and she lives close by. Basically we've been talking about our backgrounds and our interests and some travelling we have done. She seems to ask a lot about me in her emails so I'm guessing she's interested.

Girls get asked out by guys on that site all the time. How would you take it to the next level with someone like that? I understand meeting a stranger online is something most girls are careful about.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Hey man.... I actually am in this exact situation so ill tell you what i did. I messaged this girl on myspace... no intention of f*cking her or anything but I thought she might have gone to my school. So things progressed and eventually im talking to her on msn. Then one night im going out to a club so I tell her she should come... and shes like "Ok" then im like "im not sure if im going for sure yet or not but give me your number and ill call you". So i called and ended up going. We met, drank, danced... lots of touching. Im going out with her tomorrow night. Pretty basic.....

Women will go out with guys they are interested in if he's gained a comfortable rapport with her. If you've achieved that, just ask her out for coffee.
 

"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.
