"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.

Hi,

Been seeing this girl for a short time, seen her like 3 times. Everything is going well. She seems really into me (initiates a lot of kisses, texts me all the time, etc), and I like her as well. I think we get along really well.

However, when she's had a drink she might text me something a bit...soppy might be the right word. Things like 'i miss you'. It doesn't happen all the time, and I don't even see it as a problem as such, its kinda cute. However, my question, and/or concern is this:

Even though I think the pick-up artist community has a lot of good points, I don't agree with some of its main points. However, I have heard of girls 'testing' guys. I can see why people think girls may 'test', I think its happened to me before. What I want to know is, is the above a 'test'?! it's not what I've usually read as a 'test' on her (usually girls being *****es)...I have replied what I feel is somewhere in the middle. Not like 'omg i miss you as well' but not ignored it or anything. Just said I was looking forward to seeing her. Because I do look forward to seeing her, but not sure i 'miss' her as such. (whats the difference I hear you ask!). It's weird this is about texting, because I don't even think about the way I act infront of her, I'm just myself, which as far as I know, is going down well. Its just the texting!

I suppose this much thought comes from my last fling. I got the feeling that girl was playing games with me to 'test' me. I'm not saying she (or any other girl) intentionally 'tests', but I can see where the analogy comes from. Things are going great with this girl though, I think we get along well and she doesn't play games! I can't be bothered with a girl like that again, too mature for that! Should I just not think about stuff like this too much?! I am doing a night shift and I'm pretty bored, so got me thinking!
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

IMO you're over-thinking this. Sure it *could* be a test but it's probably just because she's drunk and into you.

Just keep it playful...don't respond right away, send something short and sweet like "yeah well you won't be disappointed on (insert day) when we get together! ;) " Something like that.

It still may be a test for her attention seeking, or it may not.

Simple solution: Next time someone sends you an "I miss you" message Reply with: "Aww that's so cute! Now what are you going to do about that feeling? ;)"


Force her to ACT on it.

Thanks for the advice guys. I've come to the conclusion that she's probably just a bit drunk and like ARrocket says, she's just into me. Not that I'm going to be a complete p*ssy about it anyway. so, in conclusion, it's all good!
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
