"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.

Fellas,

I've been thinking about (actually im gonna do it) asking if this girl wants to hang out Friday Night. Text or Call and reason why please? Also do you think Friday's and Saturdays are good, Ive been told that it's more formal and serious when you take a girl out on the weekends as opposed to the weekdays. Feedback please?
 

"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.

There's a link at the bottom left of the page that says "The DJ Bible." Turn your phone off for the next week and study it.

quick answer
call.
be confident voice.
if you get a message box: dont leave a message if you got nothing funny to say..or leave a quick message, nothing about the date, just talk about how she must be ms.busy n ur magazine is offering more for her centre spread than the other mags are so she should call back.. say it in a funny way.

dont text ask for a date.thats what 15 yr olds do..and you wanna come across as 70% alpha 30% romantic. you're alpha part means you are not scared to ask.

no diff between weekends and weekdays, a date is a date..
if you wanna get to know like a first date, do thursdays or fridays.
then on the tail end of ur date organize another date for sat( from thursday, if you really like her, that way you can go out dancing after dinner) or sunday brunch or coffee if you wanna get to know her better...

make sure she stays excited n has reason to go tell her gfs..keep her pushing for more after ur date.

I personally never ask a girl to hang out on the weekends. That is my time to meet new women and/or Kick it with my boys. I always arrange dates on weekdays. It keeps them guessing who you are spending your weekends with and that makes them chase harder. You remain a mystery. The only exception to the rule is if I KNOW for sure I am getting sex, but even then I will make the girl wait till like 1 or 2 AM to meet up. Warning though: eventually she will be begging for you to put her in your weekend schedule.

don jaime i like ur way of thinking,never thought about it that way
 

"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.

I text girls to set up dates all the time. It's not that I'm afraid to call it's just that I hate wasting time talking on the phone and am always doing something. I hate making girls feel special. It's funny tho cause I just texted a girl before I wrote this and she's like "Why didn't you call me?" Just replied "Cause I have better things to do than spend all day talking on the phone. Yes or no. It's not rocket surgery..." She texted back "Okay okay!" Take it for what it's worth.

As a post script...don't be too much of an ass texting them back without a lot of attraction and really strong frame control when you're together...I come across as 98% man and 2% romantic. That equation works well for me.
