"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.

any tips on picking up classmates? what if you get rejected, but you still have to see them everyday? nothing to worry about?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Even when rejected I never had much of a problem with them.

Just don't be the nice guy that acts like a friend to get into her pants. That is when you usually lose that girl as a friend because she found out your true identity.

You should be fine if done properly. I asked out 4 classmates in one week and no serious repurcussions came about. Hell afterward I became a good friend with a couple of the girls.

Good luck.:D

That is pretty inspiring. I think I've been holding out, wanting to flirt a little more and up her IL before suggesting anything like a date. Maybe I'll set something up soon.

I wouldn't worry about being rejected. Even if you are rejected it's ok as long as you don't make a big deal about it. I've been rejected by a few classmates, but if it happens I just joke with them and treat them like everyone else. It only really gets akward if you show you're angry at them, but if you just show that you're indifferent things are fine.

jasons right. dont make a big deal about it and no one else will. and you should flirt with them a bit to know that theyre interested and maybe you can get esclate to a one night stand as it says in the 10 commandments.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

if you get rejected, be man enough to not let it affect how you act around them.
