"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.

rejection collection

"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.

To the origional poster:

were you adding up your rejections or your points?

You did 15 rejections but you got 40 points so which do you go by?

I just hope that elstud could see this now.

He has had little success becasue all his approaches were 1 out of 10's. Compared to someone who makes less approaches, but has more social skills and frequently scores 8's, 9's, and 10's, its no wonder the more socially apt guy has more success.

I think some of the rejections are due to the quality of your approach situations. Just cold walking up to strangers with nothing particular in common is a disadvantage. I noticed how one of your female coworkers accepted at first at least.
