"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.

So lastnight I ask my current gf of two months why she wanted me and went after me. She tells me, because she thought I was a challenge. I remember near the beginning of the relationship I would complain about like 6 girls that all wanted me, but were annoying as hell and none of them could live up to my expectations. This was actually a lie, only 2 of them really wanted me, but she thought this was true and thought of me as a challenge. I didn't think this really worked until I heard it from her.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

More important question - does she think of you as a challenge now?
 

"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.

ive been a challenge to every girl ive gotten involved with at first. Currently i was a challenge to this girl hardcore wouldnt even acknowledge her even though i wanted too, it usually worked and there was no games played whatsover from anybody as soon as i showed interest. she freakin seemed crazy for me. but i liked her. I let my guard down and now im freaking chasing her and she turned the tables on me. I think girls mirror a guys behavior initally. shes probably like well he was a challenge to me so now im going to be freakin b1tch and get him back for making me go crazy over him. hahah funny sh*t. guess got to turn the tables again
