"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.

Okay my number one principle with girls after trail and error is not to show too much interest especially in start but how do you show the right amount of interest and keep a aloofness and control of the situation?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I don't know how much is just enough, but don't do what I do. I've been overcompensating and running them off by being too aloof.

There's a line somewhere in the middle that's personable. It's between too interested and not interested enough. I still haven't found it.

Show interest when she shows you something interesting.

yea, I agree with Interceptor. showing interest is fine if it's genuine. if she says something you think is fvckin cool - like she's a fan of the same NBA team as you, or you like the same kind of movies, you don't lose value for being interested

showing interest for no reason is what you should avoid - that just telegraphs desparation

if you're actign aloof, you're purposely making yourself boring, not cooler. don't do that sh!t
 

"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.

I usually take her IOI's and match them. I keep matching and then when she isn't expecting it I'll up the ante a good amount.

It will really make it look like you have a pair and if she dont like you, you know ahead of time to move on.
