"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Hey guys, so I was looking at my FB profile untill I saw this girl that used to be my juniors in Highschool. She wasnt some sort of spectacular back then but boy, shes pretty hot now, went to med school and stuff. We were kinda close before because I was in relathionship with her bestfriend. Soo my question is what would be the great openers to reconnect to her without being boring and obvious? I kinda wanna get her number and ask her out. Thoughts would be appreciated.
 

"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.

Stop overthinking things...it's always obvious why you would be contacting her. As if somehow she doesn't realize that you want to bang her when you just start messaging her out of the blue.

Stop trying to figure out a way to do it and just do the normal thing and ask her out for a drink. Confidence means you don't have to trick women into meeting you, you simply ask them out. Be confident, not like one of these dudes who thinks they need to trick women into going out. They see through it every time trust me.
 

"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.

Send her a message something like small convo but then push for her number so you can text. From there don't spend too much time texting. Tell her you guys should get together for drinks on xxx day.

Nothing against the OP, but this is such a classic blue pill mistake. Trying to think of that one clever thing to say to open her up and make her fall for you. This is called creating a mountain out of a mole hill and is the result of pedestalization.

If the blue pill guy ever does eventually work up the courage to say something, it will likely come across as try hard (desperate) or awkward. And will probably be worse than if he had just casually said, "Hey"

Moral of the story, stop giving a f*ck.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Canned openers rarely work because you know you are using an opener. I realized this in 5th grade. Instead, make up your own routine and try it out by lots of practice. Yes, that means lots of failures, but also more overall success.

Thanks for all the insights guys. But I dont think a simple "hey" to someone that you havent been talking for years wouldnt work. And im not pedestaling here. Esp on facebook, its not gonna get you anywhere but "seen" zone. I think it should be a little more details and right to the point isnt it?

What always works best for me is paying her a border line sexual complement, then asking her her name always works for me. Also imagine in the back of your mind that an even hotter woman is waiting for you on the other side of the room. This puts you in the proper frame.

"I noticed that you have the nicest legs, what's your name?"

What ever it is that you PHYSICALLY noticed about her that attracted you... tell her.

She'll either thank you and open up, or she'll shut you down. If it's the later just move on. If she is interested she will work to keep your attention, then it's easy.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

That's great, a fine balance between sexuality and politeness.
