"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.

At this point I'm almost content spending it alone or just going to bed early.

All my friends have gfs/wives and will be spending it together. Basically a couples night/party. I never have fun when I try attending and no single friends are ever present, if anything some outside friends with their significant others show up.

Not to mention they tend to engage in board games and pair up.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

My suggestion is dependent on the size of your city...
I've been in your exact situation in 2010.
I ended up going to a huge bar hosting a new years event alone rather than tagging alone with one of my married friends. I had a blast. Practice your stuff that night. Women don't want to be alone anymore than men. Its easy picking.

Thing is I've never been a bar guy. Don't really drink either.

Are you a member of meetup.com?
There are tons of social events going on tonight (my city anyway).

Women everywhere wanting to be kissed at midnight. You can almost pull a stranger without objection.
Hope it works out for you. Bed would suck tonight!

Then BECOME one tonight!!

What kind of bullcrap is that anyway? Bars are full of women (which is likeable), people are happy (which is likeable), you can dance (which is likeable), you can act out and do things that are not socially acceptable in normal settings (which is likeable). Etcetera...

Or spend the night watching a movie all alone. Up to you. I'm going to a bar tonight... And I'm gunna hav me sum fun!! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjjxQcyWwaU
 

"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.
