"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.

Hey guys

I met a HB7 in my apartment last week. I felt that she liked me. We exchanged texts and flirting. But I had to leave the town for 4 days.

I did not call or text her during that time.

I tried to call her and she did not respond today . So I texted her

me: "play hard to get already? When you stop being nerd write me back."

Her: "I don't mean to be rude but I just started dating someone and it's kind

of serious. Hope you understand."

What the ****?

How should I respond to this text?

Thanks bro
 

"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 didn't do anything wrong at all.

Just realize that in pick up, you're going to have losses. It's just part of the game. Even the best in the world Mystery and Matador get blown out of sets. It's just the nature of the beast. Some girls just are NOT looking for anything at the present moment.

You didn't screw up anywhere by any means. The most important thing for you to do at this point is to maintain your value.

Move on, meet new women, and don't see this as an entire loss. Keep her around, she may and probably will break up with this guy sooner or later, and you'll be there when she does.
