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.
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.
That is the greatest compliment I've ever received on SS.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:could be made up for attention
Wait that's her? You are going through all this? For THAT???bigneil said:That is the greatest compliment I've ever received on SS.
But as Alex Jones would say: you can't make this stuff up, folks. I do realize the actual risks I'm taking, my going undercover to report on the nefarious inner workings of an actual foreign slvt in her natural habitat. They kill spies over there. But she practically does look like a Bond girl.
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.

I suppose Bigneil's got a catch with the apartment.
Has CordonCordon admitted she is a woman yet?cordoncordon said:Wait that's her? You are going through all this? For THAT???
She is what....a 5? If that? I am seriously coming to the conclusion that most people in this world are complete crazy people. I wouldn't even go on a date with a girl like that, let alone move in with her.
BN? This proves to me that you have more than a few screws loose. I knew it after the first stripper episode, but this confirms it. Also, get a better taste in women. Your standards are way too low.
You are more delusional than even I thought if you think that girl is hot in any way, shape, or form.bigneil said:Has CordonCordon admitted she is a woman yet?
Who else would protest a man saving $125 per night by living with a (yes) hot girl. I doubt any man would say this girl is a 5 or lower. And what is "all this" I've put up with? Finding a new girl sleeping in my bed? Saving $1000 the first week?
PS - The stripper just texted to invite me over to her new house this weekend. We'll be celebrating 18 months of sex. Yeah, I must have gone mad.
She reminds me of a less attractive version of Lucille Ball. Not that LB was even attractive.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:That russian is a 4.

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"A Bond Girl" you say? She looks more like Mr. Bean to me :crackup:bigneil said:But she practically does look like a Bond girl.

well you shouldn't do that....when you don't know what it is....you don't know the signs!!PairPlusRoyalFlush said:I said it as a catchall because not everyone here knows of HPD...jerkoff.
yes it is...there are zero BPD signs with this woman....what would you call it then? it sure as hell ain't no BPDPairPlusRoyalFlush said:Her behavior is not clearly HPD.
you should read this thread again so you can see the attention seeking.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:I havent seen any attention seeking at all..

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
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.
