"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.

the thing is i got the phone # of this chick that was the easy part. The thing i really hate is talking to her on the phone and then telling her some bull**** lie to hang up with her. I dont like to be on the phone but i hate hanging up the phone when talking to her i can never come up with any good excuses. what can i say that will make her come back for more?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

heres what i do :

first off let her know at the beginning of the call, that you cant stay on long
that way she already knows that she should keep her call breif .

second , just tell her " you have to go " you really dont have to give her a reason. just " i have to go " it works all the time , try it . - N

Tell her you hate talking on the phone for long periods, and if she wants to hang out, come over. Tell her men aren't phone talkers. I promise she wont break up with you for it.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

don't give her a reason. Just say talk to you later, bye. It will make her think your bored with her or she messed up. It will add to your mystery. If she asks if your busy tell her yes, but can spare a couple minutes. You don't need to give excuses and when you do, you give her power over you

Just tell her you have to go and you'll talk to her tomorrow. Why do you need to come up with an excuse just to be able to hang up the damn phone? You're a man, you do what you want.

My girl told me a story about her yesterday for 25 min without taking a breath, I put the phone down on my bed, brushed my teeth, put in the laundry I came back 10 min later,,,,,, WORD TO EVERYTHING shes still talking thinking that Im listening...

If I tell her keep it brief shell get mad and hang up,,,, MEN ARE NOT PHONE TALKERS.....

HOW DO I SHUT HER UP MAN!!!
 

"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.
