"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.

this kind of embressing to ask for help on this subject but it's hard she wants meaning behind and i have writers block you could sort of say.
 

"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.

Think of an inside joke between the two of you or something.

Example: This chick I've been seeing and I were out playing around on a playground (actually very fun, try it sometime). Well, we end up curled up in the slide, which was a full tube, making out. I was laying down in it and she was all contorted. Anyway, during the making out I licked her on the side of the face and she tasted salty (we'd been sweating from running around). So naturally I say, "You taste kinda salty.... I'm calling you Pretzel from now on" because she was twisted up in the slide and she tasted salty. Naturally she loved it, and now it's our little "inside thing".

Try to think back to something like that. If you've got nothing, make one happen

there's the generic pet names as well, sweetie, babe, sexy etc.

Bit of info about her etc?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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 should have called her Helen of Troy.
 

"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.

Metal fan, I think some names are hard to come up with nicknames for . I mean what would you call a girl named Helen? Hel? or a girl called Darlene... darling? Find something about her and give her a nickname. Like my last gf I called her Friz because she had curly frizzy hair. I also called her a Lone Knight rider cos she rode me far into the night, lol.

Best advice posted. Think of an inside joke between the two of you, and go from there. Does she look/remind you of anything?

In the past, I gave the nickname "schmoopie" to a girl. Somehow the discussion of boogers came up (dont ask) and when she was little, she called them schmoopies.. ever since than, that was her nickname.

Avoid nicknames such as: Princess, baby, beautiful. Completely wh*red up. Think of something original, not to sweet.
In high school, avoid the nicknames b*tch, c*ntface, etc because girls in HS tend to be insecure. The last thing you want is to spark up a fight on such a small, avoidable thing. Notice how the nickname I gave was not too sweet, yet it wasn't as offensive as the other ones posted in this thread? That's the kind of nickname you should be looking for.

Hope I helped,
Axcell.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.
