"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 i agree with the theory that women are turned off by nice guys that try to IMPRESS them by buying them jewelery, telling them they are beautiful, buying them flowers, chocolate, writing poems etc...

However, i think its not the flowers that turn her off its the vibe she gets that he isn't good enough and he needs to buy her things to impress her correct?

BUT what if you are doing it to be romantic? What if i want to buy my women flowers to surprise her, write her a poem so she feels loved. so she can brag to her friends about it?

Please note, this i my girlfriend and not a women i'm trying to **** and impress...

I don't think it is AFC to do this. A masculine man can do this... and be viewed as a nice guy.

Views/thoughts
 

"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.

the only time flowers are prohibited to be used on a first date are

1) Rose pedals in the bathtub

2) Rose pedals in the bed.

either one of thoose I'm fine with.

Being romantic is all about you. It has nothing to do with what you buy her. I don't have to buy you **** to show you how bad I want to get in your pants. my look, my kino, my words tell that all to well.

hav eyou had sex yet?

again, if you think you have to buy her flowers to make her feel nice.. that's the issue right there, not the flowers per say

but again, have you had sex yet?
 

"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.

no

don't do it.

you used your once chance.

It's strict and it may no make sense to you now, but trust me on this one. women have to earn material things. just keeping someone around for 4 months isn't earning anything.

Generally speaking women candidly are not impressed with the typical Romantic gift ideas like flower, chocolate ,etc.
They are more impressed and want more of the romance, attention, and affection on a consistent basis.
Basically, they are more impressed by what you do, the "little things" , for them, rather than big, obvious gestures.
It's not AFC to buy her flower, etc for a longtime girlfriend. But it does stick out if you're not being consistent with the attention.
Gifts are best on expected days, like Christmas, Birthdays, and Valentine's.
But you can be spontaneous and give her a gift out of a rigid schedule like the above. But never overdo it. It can make you look a little supplicating.
Go ahead and do it, but don't overdo it, and pay more attention on your consistency.
Women will rarely complain that you don't buy her flowers, etc if you keep her needs satisfied consistently.
 

"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.

you want to keep a woman on her toes.. buying her flowers and **** isn't a way to keep her on her toes.

ot saying swallowing deserves flowers,
but I am :)

just kidding.. it' something about a woman swallowing your man juice that makes everything worth while. I mean I get no pleasure out of it at all... actually I do. I don't know why. just don't try to kiss me afterwards.. or the next day.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It's alright to do nice things, as long as you make few and far between.

Why is it that everyone looks when they see a ferrari or lamborghini driving down the road? It's not something you see everyday

Now if you seen ferraris all over the place, you'd eventually lose interest.

I think you can figure out the metaphor.

The more rare you do these nice things, the more 'special' they are to her.

I've been with my girlfriend for 3 months. I only gave her two things.
1. Hand-picked flowers from a neighbors yard..
2.A $7 braclet at a festible.

Once in a blue moon I don't think its a bad idea to give your girlfriend a little gift thats inexspensive. But, if you don't get sh!t in return its not worth it.

Or only buy her something for like her birthday,christmas...

don't even buy her **** for her bithday unless you have been dating for a while.

I don't give a fvck if it's your birthday.

a good rule of thumb that has never let me down.. if it were my birthday, would she buy me anything? If I honestly can say yes, I have no problem. if I even think she might not, she has work to do
