"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.

First off I want to say a sincere thank you to all the posters here at SS. You guys have been an invaluable resource for me in overcoming the now common AFC way of thinking. The red pill is bitter to say the least but it's necessary medicine these days.

I've decided to put myself on hold for a while and go on a bit of a hermitage with the end goal of making 2014 the best year of my life so far. During this time I'm committed to working on myself and becoming the best ME I can be. I'm talking total tear down and rebuild. I've already started and I'm feeling great.

This is my personal project of mine but I want as many DJs to join me on this to insure that 2014 is the Year of the Don for EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US!

All this thought of self-improvement has got me thinking. I'm pretty new here but it seems to be a common complaint from the more seasoned SS posters that this place has fallen off a bit recently. We CANNOT let that happen because we know the value of this forum.

Question for the moderators, can we block new people from starting threads for the first 30 days after registering?

I ask because this forum seems to be flooded with guys that sign up just to post about winning a particular girl they're in love with. If they had 30 days to read threads (and hopefully the DJ Bible etc) then they would find some answers on their own. I'm guilty of this too so I'm not judging.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Of course we can. We don't need any users to make posts on here anyway. Hell, let's just shut the whole thing down! Then we won't have to worry about reading all the posts from the clueless noobs because Sosuave won't exist.

EDIT: ^^^^ LOL :crackup:

Despite being a good plan, a plan I'm following myself, I do believe that even that your idea of the 30 days to thread is filled with good intention, what makes you think that you could have done it, and others cannot.

Now that you had your shot, and you know stuff, f*ck the noobs?? Think about it!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
