"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.

Probably Immature of me, but something trivial has been bothering me with my GF.

Ok, come back to this thread after she dumps you, and then begin to learn.

3 girls = 3 girls
2 girls = 2 girls
1 girl = 0 girls
 

"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.

so when I was dating multiple women and chose this one to get exclusive with i was wrong?

I don't disagree with you. dating multiple women is fine, i do that, I'm no longer dating, it's turned into a relationship.

I wouldn't say you were "wrong," but the question is why would you ever limit yourself to one woman? Just because it's what society tells you to do? Think about it. Monogamy is a societal construct, it generally favors women and disfavors men. Why would you involve yourself with it?
