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.
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 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 wasn't trying to say he is unreasonable by any means, notice the smiley face in my post.Atom Smasher said:He strikes me as the very model of a reasonable man, even though I might disagree with him on a minor point here or there. I say that just from his writings as I haven't listened to the recording yet.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
that's a good one.ThunderMaverick said:Hey guys! So i was thinking about this post being on of the topics we discuss on saturday:
http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=187546 (by MaddXMan)
a guy who's been with a divorced woman for 4 months totally turns around and admits to wanting to date another man. What could be there reasons?
i don't think you have to read the whole thread aloud... i think just introduce the thread name (everyone has already read it ) and discuss the idealistics of the returning fox.ThunderMaverick said:Oh thanks pen! That's a great one to talk aboutIt's very wordy but I think I can read it to everyone!
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.
i encourage you to help with a list of topics that you would like to see.Buddha_Mind said:Re: subjects -- yes maybe some discussion of tips for some of the common problems many men here face (how about moving on post-break-up) or how about some discussion around the sort of behavior we ought to respect or "red-flag" behavior (differentiate between a woman worth investing more in vs. a woman dropping)...or help some guys here better understand how they can change themselves to really become high value as individuals...just my $.02! Appreciate all you guys are doing and all the effort and time you place to help others!
