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.
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 thought the DJ is the guy that lives life, not the guy who always acts alpha. It always seems that the geeky guy who likes computers and anime is the guy that is "weak." Granted, many does hold true, many lacks social skills, but having an interest in geeky and nerdy stuff and being with those type of people (including girls) does not mean he have to abandon that. If such a person have that problem he need to get read of the lack of social skills, not his interests, too many fail to realize that.ChrizZ said:I overreacted a little bit.
You are right.
However I DO NOT have sympathy for weak men like him that sit at home all day and play videogames. If he asks for help I'll help him. I hoped for another alpha male to learn from, but I got a beta male.
I'll try to take advantage of this though. As I said his computer skills might be useful for starting my own business.
No offence but you're not a Kevin Levrone yourself and he still gets laid.ChrizZ said:"Hi, I'm Christopher and I'm totally weird and a super geek" is what he said when he first entered the dorm to greet me.
I was looking at a tall, anorexic guy dressed as a total geek carrying a supercomputer in his one arm and an xbox and playstation in the other.. Next to him stood his girlfriend who was the female version of him.
He doesn't do any sports because he has a health problem.
He says he doesn't do anything except play video games all day. I'm talking about a geek like this
Now don't get me wrong here, I don't wanna sound arrogant, but we are completely different.
I'm on a good path to become a real man, but I'm afraid he'll drag me down with his nerdyness. What should I do? Try to help him out or just move out?
