"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.

All right.. So like the title says. Me and this girl from my class were talking and decided we should do something together sometime, so we exchanged numbers and said I'd give her a call after I visit my family for Christmas. Now I can tell she's attracted to me cause since the first day of class I would always catch her glancing over at me and she eventually started some conversation with me outside one day at school. We walked back to the dorms together and were just chatting about everyday life and joking around, then she drops this bomb on me..

"I have sort of a fake boyfriend"

Now with most girls this would seem like a ringing bell for ATTENTION ***** to me, but this girl seems sort of introverted and not the type to have such an attitude. The way I look at it is her boyfriend's probably a total AFC that wants more out of the relationship than she's willing to give.. A typical nice guy and she probably treats him as a "fake boyfriend" for this reason. It almost seems like she wants to hook up, which would be totally cool with me since I don't really have the time or patience between work and school for the constraints of an LTR.

Well anyways, me and this girl were throwing around the idea of checking out an art exhibit in the town of our school when we're both back here. Now like I said I'm not looking for a relationship, but hooking up or maybe a friends with benefits situation would be chill. Just wondering if you guys think I should go for this or if it could turn into a complete mess of a situation. Any feedback is good. Thanks dudes

What took so long? You should've closed the first day of semester.

Go for it, but get some other plates spinnin' in the meantime. And don't do what she did and tell her about your "fake girlfriends."

This one time I referred to a girl as the "girl who calls me her boyfriend." If she ever caught wind of that, she'd have been pissed like a motherf*cker.

Not to rain on your parade but it sounds like you have a raging AW on your hands. The type of personality, weather intro or - extroverted, doesnt apply to AW, hence any woman posses tendencies towards becoming an AW. In other words, nice girls do it too.

Red Flags
1. Leads you on with "fake boyfriends"
2. Considers relationships more intimate than they are
3. Took you 4 months to close a phone number.
4. She left you unclear about her availability (thats why you are here)
5. You have a gut feeling that she is an AW (but refuse to believe it)

Whats gonna happen next is this: you call and she doesn't pick up, or she picks up makes plans with you and then flakes last minute, even though she is attracted to some degree.

Dont have your hopes up until she actually went out with you.


P.S. Majority of college girls are AWs- they are different, so keep that in mind.
 

"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.

"I have sort of a fake boyfriend"

Don't think of this as a bomb. She uses "sort" and "fake". AKA she's just putting that excuse in there in case you are not who she thought you were and ejects. Sort of like her plan B.

Now with most girls this would seem like a ringing bell for ATTENTION ***** to me, but this girl seems sort of introverted and not the type to have such an attitude.

AKA you have the mindset that this girl is special or different from other girls. Don't put her on a pedestal as it seems like you might be doing. You don't know what any girl is capable of especially if you only have a class with them.

The way I look at it is her boyfriend's probably a total AFC that wants more out of the relationship than she's willing to give.. A typical nice guy and she probably treats him as a "fake boyfriend" for this reason.

Probably true, but you shouldn't give a fvck about a person who is "sort of" her "fake" "boyfriend."

It almost seems like she wants to hook up, which would be totally cool with me since I don't really have the time or patience between work and school for the constraints of an LTR.

You say you only want a hookup and no long term relationship yet in the paragraph above you basically are throwing around date ideas. Are you sure you only want a hookup or do you really want a relationship? For a hookup all you'd have to do is get her into your room or get her to a party not an art exhibit. I suppose you still CAN hook up with her after taking her to an art exhibit but it seems like a date idea not a let's fvck idea.
Well as soon as school starts take her to the exhibit and during your alone times make sure to escalate when you feel like it. From what it sounds like she already digs you, she's expecting you to do something. Like that guy nismo has in his signature "strike while the iron's hot"

If she flakes on you - let us know. I am pretty sure she will.

"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.
