"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.

Hey Guys,
Ok. I had a friend refer me to the book & I can't stop reading. Now that I'm analyising what I do, I went looking on the web & found you guys, so you can imagine my enthusiasm. Anyway, one of the major questions I had, or problem I seem to keep running into is not meeting some chick & getting her number. I'm not great at it yet or anything, but I can manage to grab my balls and talk to some chick thats starring at me. Most of the time I'm bored out of my mind with the conversation, but my problem lies between the time I get her # and getting her into bed. They always seem to loose interest, loose my number, lol, or both. Since you guys have been at this longer than me.... what do you think. PS. I'm 24, so these girls are generally at bars, clubs, etc

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

everybody is gonna tell you to read the DJ bible, and probably 'double your dating' by david deangelo as a starting point for your path to becoming a DJ

Well why is the conversation boring? Most likely because you are boring... fix that. :)

Uh no. Conversation between two people involves two people.

Uh no. Conversation between two people involves two people to each other, about each other, and asking questions about each other.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Good conversation skills involve making the other person talk. Remember we are talking about the timeframe from when he gets her number to sex that "they" lose interest. It must be all the woman's fault each time right?

these girls are generally at bars, clubs

Try approaching someplace else, and see if the women work out a little better. I don't expect much out of anyone I meet in a bar.
