"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 know this girl at my work. We are sorta becoming friends but she knows I am intrested in her. She is attracted to me and her friends think I am hot too. The problem lies in her former marriage. She has been living with her female friend for the last month and seeing nobody. She has a kid and no car and is not ready to be in a relationship right now. And I don't know if we are right for each other? I like her looks and her personality but she is so shy and uncomfortable around me. But right know I am just trying to be her friend and to gain her trust when she is around me, but she has so much baggage and there is no guarantee that she would be any diffrent from one of my other girlfriends? So what do you guys think, she is a hot babe #9, I like her, but she does have issues and I don't think I could just use her like other woman? And no I'm not putting her on a pedestal and this is not oneitis, it's just meeting a woman you admire beyond a physical level? So please let me know what you think?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I would definietly avoid getting with a girl from work (especially one who appears to be pretty volatile). If she is as unstable as you say, I'd turn around and walk away. Befriend her and flirt with her but don't cross the line.

If things get sour, it'll make work a rather uncomfortable experience.

If you think you can handle it, though, you can use my motto and say "fvck it"... go for it.

Instead of gently creeping into it, why not give her some excitment and sweep her off her feet? I imagine she just needs a thrill in her life after going through a marriage breakup and all that. Just don't get too involved. Keep it light and fun.
