"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.

I was just reading the book "Snake Oil: Life's Calculations, Misdirections, and Manipulations" by Jim Rose and he has a bunch of cool tricks and swindles in it.

One that is very short to explain and could be used as part of a magic/psychic routine is the following:

Tell a girl to look at a calendar (could be on her cell phone, or could be one you have on you, etc.) and pick 3 consecutive days in any month and add up their values.

She then will tell you the SUM TOTAL and you will almost instantly tell her which days she picked!

Example: 54
Days: 17, 18, 19

How does it work? Whatever number she gives you, divide by 3. That will be the number in the middle, thus you now know all 3 days.

Cool huh?

I think it makes for some entertaining material to fill up the time.

It sure beats asking her if she has any pets or what she does for work as a routine.

Combine this with a few other magic tricks, perhaps a little bit of a psychic reading done via cold reading, and it makes you more interesting.

As part of my commitment to David DeAngelo's material for 90 days I've been taking his advice on never talking about anything normal.

It has worked out suprisingly well.

The obvious challenge is to fill up time with unusual or entertaining things to say, and I know that a lot of guys here are having a problem coming up with cool things to talk about too. So when I try something out or have a good idea I post it, to you know, share information and ideas. Thats kind of the point of this forum

So take your attitude to another thread.

I'm trying too hard? Well I am trying, I suppose. Then again aren't you? Isnt the very act of being on this forum that is dedicated to learning about women and how to win them over trying too hard? (given that there are naturals out there who never learn about any of this stuff and do fine)
 

"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.

It's basic math:

(X - 1) + X + (X + 1) = 3X

3X/3 = X

Yeah, you have to add 3 consecutive dates. You cant just say a random number or it won't work. For example the number 25 does not divide equally by 3, thats why there is no 3 consecutive dates that add up to 25.
