"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"That's a cool way of spelling your name."
"Haha, yeah..."
I kind of choked there, but at least I said something.
Most of the time I just mumble thanks and leave.That's about where I am too. I choke too. But keep chugging! Eventually you'll quit choking, and you'll start sarging!Mr_rogers said:Today I was shopping for some clothes, and the girl behind the counter had an interesting name.

"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.
Me: Hey, what's up?
Her (acts annoyed): Ummm... nothin'
Me: You went to St. Mark right?
Her (gives attitude): yeah, do you know my name?
Me: No. Do you know mine?
Her: Daniel.
Me: I know your name too, but didn't want to come off as a stalker - Jillian.
Her (shudders): Ok...
I walk away... Yeah pretty bad. That stalker line killed the mood, but she was a ***** before that so whatever.
Me: ey girl my names wes
Her: (edgy sounding) hey
Me: I came all the way across this lunch room to talk to you and i dont eve get a name
Her: (small smile) ha my names kelly
Me: ah really look more like a tory to me but nice to meet ya kelly

thats good advice thanks for it, but i do use humor in my approaches its just i was typin how i start it and didn't add in all that because with each girl its different...what i typed was just basically a cut down version because u never know what u will say to the girl...but yea that is good advice for people because ALL girls like a man who can make them laugh...unless they're goths or something.snorida44x said:
So I drove to the bowling ally, and my friends were suppose to meet me. I went to the front, and the lady said it'd be 1 hour and 30 minutes till a lane would be open. I figured maybe I could try to mack my way into it...
Me: How long?
Her: 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Me: Well put me down for Daniel.
Her: We don't do reservations on Tuesdays.
Me: Dang... (notices book) What kind of math is that?
Her: Elementary Math.
Me: Oh, so you're going to be a teacher? Cool.
Her: No... that's where they put me.
Me: I'm confused... so you're in High School or college?
Her: College.
Me: How did you get into that?!
Her: I'm really bad at math.
Me: What college do you go to?
Her: Nova.
Me: Well... I got to go. Good luck in your math class..
Her: Thanks!
Not bad, but not good. At least I held a convo. with a stranger.
"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.

Might want to go a little easy on the questions, not bad though!Bling said:
When you start a convo you don't have to be genuinely funny, if you tease her in a playful way it's really funny and enjoyable for both of you. Some other things that make your conversation more interesting than John Doe are (when first approach but you could keep them) negs [if hot], sexual innuendo [go easy on it], cold reading, and misinterpreting what she said. Throw kino in when you can and a smile is always great... you're on the beach man...palm trees....sunset...fresh air...so relaxed [this is your body language.]

Friend:Hey look that hbblond is on lunch break go approach
Snow: blahblah(Talking to other friends)...What...O ok give me a min
Friend: Damn forget it
Snow: What happened?
Friend: Another co worker is next to her...and another
Snow: So I'm still going in regardless
*Walk to table* (Had no clue what to say at first so I just randomly said...)
Snow: Hey whats sup
hbblond: (to hbindia) What is this?
I ignore and start to plow
Snow: O your writing a love letter
HBblond: no blah blah friend blah fight blah blah writing to her blah
Snow: *Starts reading first sentence in a kind of gayish tone*
HBs: hahaha
Start cutting space, kino in less than 30 seconds...vibe, qualify 3rd hb..ask whats there favorite meal on the menu. Tell 3rd hb she has to make me her favorite meal next time I come. Take my own seat. Friends want to leave so I eject.
The set was super fun and it made me realized how easy it is to cut space, kino, and build some sexual tension. When I left I was in the front of the store dancing infront my friends. Everyone wanted to know what went down and was surprised that I had them laughing and touching.
Today in another store
Hb walks in and bumps me
HB: O sorry
*Dratmatically move as if she shoved me*
Hb: hahaha what an ass
SP: (To my friend) Damn this girl is strong
hb: hahaha
SP: You see she is a tough girl she shoves me and then skips me
hb: Did I skip you?
SP: You knowww ittt...but go ahead because I don't want you to beat me up
One thing I've been witnessing is if your not worrying about the outcome and just in the moment I tend to easily gain attraction sometimes I don't even have to do anything. Just 2 days ago this girl was all rubbing my chest up and we weren't talking about nothing I'm just on the wall getting my chest all rubbed up. Everyone that I tend to open, opens but that doesn't mean I always get the lay or number but 9 times out of 10 I have a overall great interaction and I added some fun to her day. Just sit on a public transportation and look how bored everyone is. I had a vision in my head that one day I could be on the bus and just start singing a song and get everyone to sing along or atleast pump everyone's state that way it isn't all boring.
Misinterpreting? Actually, that's genius. I've done that before, and got a laugh BUT never purposelly. Thanks, bro! Please do post your ****! I'm still getting in, but you're always there to remotivate me!Heart Break Kid said:Might want to go a little easy on the questions, not bad though!

I got a date on Saturday, so we'll see how my DJ skills will work for that. Date's Best Friend really wants me to ask her out, but the girl never showed interested in me, imo. Her friend says "she doesn't exactly know me.", and wants to get to know me. So best friend and her boyfriend and me and my date are double dating. We'll see how the date feels about me!
