"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.

Hi,

I looked at 'the bible', there is so much information there, it would take months to read all that materials, -- time I don't have .

Is there a list of essential threads to read to get me started as soon as possible. Kind of like a "quick - succient - version of essential topics "..

Thanks in advance for your help,

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Though you do need to read all of it, start off with the first two posts in the bible by Craig Reeves and Dee-Zy.

I know what you mean. Personally, I think the Bible is a bit too padded out and I can't honestly say it's all worthwhile advice.

But there is a nice little summary here:

http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=53543

It lacks the explanations and motivational words you find in most articles, so don't expect to be fired up after reading it, but I think it's a very good starting point that gives the basics in a easy to read form.
