"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, 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.

NEVER rely on your looks alone!
YOU HAVE ONEITIS
hang out with other girls and stop giving her so much attention!
once she sees you with other girls and she's with taht one guy, she'll realize taht YOU are the prize, NOT her. If she ends up breaking up with you... you have that group of girls you've been flirting with to choose from.

yeah...big mistake on my part...personality is definitely much more important...though if you have both then be thankful...lol
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

You need to go out and do other things other than being with her. Hang out with your friends, hang out with your female friends. You need to be a challenge. That's one of the number one reasons I hear why women break up with their boyfriends because the relationship got boring, it got stale, same old thing everyday, there was no more of a challenge. Hang out with her less, but when you do, make sure you two have SOO much fun.

everything is true...for me the relationship isn't boring but it is becoming a routine and she might be getting tired and is looking for other guy to give her new excitement...i will definitely start making more friends especially with girls...from my own experience i know how devastating it is for your girlfriend flirting with other guys so that's exactly what i'm going to do...thanks for the advice!~

stop talking to her, concentrate on other girls.
 

"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.

Dude you already know what you need to do, you've said it yourself. You're past that stage already, now just man up and do it.
