"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.

Second date issue

So I'm trying to arrange a second date with a girl I went out with on Wednesday. She say's she's a little busy this weekend, but says "it'd be nice to see me" and can meet between 1 and 4/5 on Sunday for "coffee or something".

I don't know whether it's best to meet then or try arrange another night date later in the week when she's not so busy.

There's a football game on that I want to watch on Sunday that starts at 4 and there is a game she may want to watch at about 1. Should I offer to watch the game with her at the pub? Offer lunch? Or arrange for another time?

Any suggestions?

Thanks :)
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

It sounds wishy washy. If the first date went well she should text to thank you afterward, not be really busy. And if she's planning dates for Sunday afternoon, forget it. Go MIA until she asks you out via text.

I actually knew she had some plans this weekend before asking her out, so she didn't suddenly make it up. I'm just wondering whether a sunday afternoon date with a definite end time is a good idea...

In general I think it's a bad idea to try to make plans with a woman if you know she is busy that weekend... It puts you in a position for her to turn you down.

For example, I was trying to setup a date a week ago for a Friday night and she let me know that she would be traveling for work that Saturday but said she might be able to meet up Friday night if she got all of her errands done. I declined and instead suggested that we meetup when she got back from her trip, which we did.

I would suggest that you take control of the situation and suggest another time to get together. Something along the lines of "hey, I would defn be up for getting together Sunday if I didn't have plans with my friends to grab some drinks and watch the game, let's get together next Thursday night"
