"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.

So

My sister got engaged yesterday - we havent spoken for about a year.

She calls me to tell me she got engaged , I said congratulations , she said thanks

Hang up

Not a single how are you ? but nice of her to tell me

Slight issue
She is 25 , has only been in her first job for 6 months and her "fiance" has no qualifications and lives off his family cash , which isnt as much as they think it is

Am I an ass for not exactly being excited about this ?
 

"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.

what you ahve to ask yourself is are you 2 even close to be anything? serious me and my brother don't talk with each other even when we see each other we stay each on his corner, we only talk together if its a 3rd part talking with both if not... meh.

also you care? you miss talking with her or something? fights because her boyfriends? she could only tells you because your mom told her doing so too.

its up to you anyway the why, you are the one present on everything.

I think my parents told her to tell me
I tried to be a good brother too her but after she insulted my career I just don't care anymore
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Don't feel bad, I'm in a similar situation with one of my sisters. In a nut shell, I can't stand the b-tch for a number of reasons. Don't let anyone shame you for this, they haven't a clue what your personal life is like with your family.

Not everyone has a made-for-TV family life.
