"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.

no, seriously. how do you get it? (dont want the hardcore party route-no drinking no drugs plz)
 

"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.

You just have to be outgoing, that's all there is to it. Don't be afraid to kino, I came up with a theory that when you meet someone, you can get closer to them JUST by physically being closer to them. How physically close you are with someone can sometimes indirectly reflect how close you are on the relationship status. I still hang out with some high schoolers, I got introduced to this one girl yesterday and I was just being an out going guy and when she hugged me after we left, she was rubbing my back, which is an IOI.

There's two ways you can be popular in high school; social proof and being the type of person everyone likes. Being the second type of person is the MUCH better way to be popular because it'll develop your social skills while social proof disappears after high school. Beware though that nothing is better than social proof; just that high school social proof is useless after, well, high school.

Social proof is key to high school. and in college too, but in college its somewhat easier. So you have to be outgoing, and meet people and hang out with them and then youll eventually get in someones group and value starts to add to you. You have to explain to us who you are withing the social groups and stuff.

"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.

play sports, join clubs (even if you are not that into them) as long as you are laid back and not a jerk you will make friends, get numbers, your social circle will grow, might even get invited to places to hang out etc. Also consider taking dancing lessons as those classes always are full of girls and are a great way to make female friends.

myself personally i am in college and this month im going to join as many clubs as i can, hiking club, tennis, badminton, poker, maybe snowboarding, and was also going to join the tango club but time won't allow.
