"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.

Couple months ago, I've found this site and I've try to be better with women. I was never to much successful with women in HS and now it's still the same in university. I over-think way too much and worry that I can't find a woman to be with. It's been months since I broke up with my ex and I just can't get the ball rolling. It's seems that I can't express myself very much and when I do, the women seems to smell for a mile away that I just want to fvck them.

Got couple phone numbers but it's never led to a meeting expect one time. And the chick never answers my phone call (one chick was always telling me there's a possibility that we meet... bs, the other just give me excuses and don't answers my texts, same with another one). Because of this, I've deleted every number of women I had in my phone since I getting tired of hearing the same excuses. I just wanna get laid and since I haven't done that yet with any woman, I feel like it's the only thing missing so I can take up another challenge. I was thinking about paying for it but I think it's just gonna destroy the small amount of self-esteem that I got. My dad is trying to help me but he changes the speech too many times. It's either: You will have fun don't worry about it, You're not doing anything to get chicks, give your numbers to girls, your uncle couldn't pick up girls so you are just like him...

My friends don't help me much because they always ending up with some chick and I'm just at the side when we hangout wondering why did I go out. I'm trying to have fun with chicks but they just don't wanna do. It's like they don't even try to hook me up or something, yet they are always the ones telling me about some chicks they meet, what they did and all that sh*t. I've try going out alone today, but I didn't get anything. There's was some chicks looking at me but they were either too fat or too old.

I've been going out every single week (at least one time) for the past 2 and a half months without any results. I think I should try to go out alone more often or simply stop trying for a while. Only moment I feel good about those 2 months and a half was today when I was way too busy to think about my situations with girls.

Any thoughts ?
 

"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.

Well you said you have fun today for the first time so after 2 1/2 months you have made some kind of progress right?

Dont be some hoe chasing sucka...figure out what girls you want and market yourself to that audience.

Plus at least you are even interacting with females some dudes wish they could.

Women want to feel good. If you're not feeling good yourself then thats the vibe you're giving off. Women feel that.


If you go out to have fun and enjoy yourself people will see you as a fun person and thats more attractive then your usual attitude.
This...read it over a billion times and engrave it into your freakin' head!!! Even if you're in a ****ty mood, you do your best to mask it and just go have fun, you go out to entertain YOURSELF first, not anyone else. You do it for others and well it becomes more like a job/assignment and most of us don't go out to get reminded of work :).

I imagine your dress style could probably use some help. Only thing a guy should drop some decent money on I feel is some nice shoes, something stylish/classy looking. I rocked my pimp calvin klein dress shoes last night , with a nice dark colored pin striped navy/black Alex Cannon button up (80-100 $ shirt got it discounted only 30$ bucks!) and express faded loose boot cut jeans (buy 1 get one free or 1/2 off if I remember)

Guess watch and a leather bracelet on the other wrist, I call it my inner warrior trinket :) With a cheap buckle dog tag necklace, cause I like the raw neutral look of some metals.

I have some real dark suave hair, kind of like this but shorter in the back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou21...00DBD1D1&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=23
. I'm a fan of 50's hair styles (I drop coconut oil & castor oil + mousse and hairspray, love the greasy look! ha). So I kind of have a haircut like a pompadour , this one is a bit more extreme though but crazy !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFqQWALsgMo&feature=related Tell me that mofo isn't looking slick and confident as hell in the end? lol I imagine he can open up many girls just cause of his HAIR. Not saying you need to get something like this, but it should make you look and feel sexy/great/confident.

pay attention to details!!! Have a unibrow? Pluck that ****! (I always keep them nice and clean looking) Have a boring hair style ? Try something new/different!!!

Pale as ****? tan some. Feel weak/ small? Get in that gym 4-5 times a week. Here's a saying I think fits nicely "Everyone is looking for the right person instead of just trying to be the "right" person"

Exactly. You gotta be at least okay with yourself, and set yourself in a "good" mood anytime you go out or you'll have a hard time getting girls. People don't want to be around a person who isn't fun/in a good mood.

Also, you said your in Uni right? You have to be around a ton of girls then.. Just find one you like.. and go say hi and ask her out sometime. What's the worst that's gonna happen? Worth at least trying!
 

"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.

It sounds like your character is lacking. What kind of men draw women's attention?

-Fun guys, who don't have enough hours in the day to do all the fun stuff they wanna do.
-Charismatic guys, the ones who are able to project their enthusiasm so well that they have everyone wanting to go places with them.
-Authority guys, those who broker no BS from the people they hang out with, and know their own core values
-Sexual guys, those who are comfortable in their own skin when it comes to sex and sexuality.

The very best guys can handle all four of these kinds of vibes. However, it sounds like you don't have any of them down.

The solution? Well, don't spend a ton of time on a forum. Go out, start getting more involved with the life around you. Find good restaurants, fun hobbies, social groups with common interests... and start making friends. Building a solid group of friends is a more basic longterm plan than trying to get laid by randomly opening random girls and hoping that somehow things will work out.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I think that I just gotta work some more on myself. My inner game is fragile and that's probably why the girls are not around me. I gotta say also that when I go out, I usually aim for the nightclubs or the bars. Maybe I just gotta rest myself for those venues for a little while until I work on my character and be able to enjoy myself without the help of a woman.

I think I'm also outcome dependant. I don't enjoy my interactions with people in general (especially women) because I just wanna hit a home run !

@ Julian: You are right, at least I'm trying, thanks for reminding me that.

@ slaog: This is so true, the time I didn't care about women while going out, I had the most fun. But I guess it's only because I desperate to get a result with a female

@ CarlitosWay: Thanks for that post, I work on everything else, except the presentation of myself. I gotta go shopping soon !

@ Tinsil : That probably the reason I don't have success with women, I become bitter by forcing any single interaction to a final outcome either rejection or lay.

@marinetti: I will continue to go out and work on my character. Females will be checking me out if I'm happy by myself instead of waiting to be happy by getting a kissclose or by getting laid.

Yeah you can't be like that. Rejection isn't that bad.

Just roll with the flow.. Get what you can out of each person and try to have a good time.
