"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.

I'm sure this has been asked a few times, however, mine comes with a slight twist.

That is, how do you game recently single chicks that you used to know on facebook/myspace after they become single?

I don't have the numbers of these girls, however I've still got their facebook/myspace from class.

Most of the time when I try to wall post or whatever, they never reply back too much to even gain some rapport for a possible hookup. Any help for more responses?
 

"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.

Don't waste your time. Hitting on chicks you USED to be in class with is futile for the most part, unless they were EXTREMELY into you at the time.

Once you leave class or whatever work / association you had with them that got you their internet **** in the first place, that ship has sailed. Don't try to swim after it into the harbor, you will just look pathetic.

What's an example of what you are posting on their wall?

well usually the every other month or so post to see how their doing (in my attempt to message them later with hooking up in mind) goes like this

"hey kid, long time no talk, what ya been up to?" or "hey, you should write back once every 5 years or so, what's up? :p"

and then that leads to a reply back message...but then when i reply it's like there was nothing to reply to for them.

convo with this one chick below, the top message was the last one i sent, and it hasn't gotten a response since

yeah, i tend to agree with this more lately.

i was just wondering if there was any resurrection that could be done once ya get out of that work/school connection.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Don't ask the typical, "Where ya been?", "What's up?", or mentioning of any time between communication.

Say something figurative or an inference.

For example (this lead me to meet someone after a long time of no communication)

A chick I haven't talked to in awhile on facebook had this obnoxious profile picture of her giving a thumbs up sign with her hand.

I just posted "Thumbs up!" on her wall, then she became the AFC type and posted back with, "Heyyyyy WHere have you been?"

so more of the discreet, wall post on something she's done lately

or a picture post would work better?

Picture posts may work, but only if they check their e-mail because that's the only way they are informed.

Poking is sometimes cool. If you get a poke back, you could be like, "Quit poking me loser :D" on her wall

Could cause a playful argument when she replies with, "you started it".

Just play around, don't ask boring questions. Don't answer their questions either, use C+F responses, and don't respond right away.

PS: Don't fall back to old friends. Meet new ones. It's more exciting, just because they become single on myspace/facebook, doesn't mean they are not still banging the ex everynight. Most of the time when someone goes right to the single status, is too p!ss off their ex so they can complain.
