"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.

Because they don't find you attractive.

It could be due to you dressing like a slob.

Not being groomed.

Being out of shape and overweight.

Being too short.

Being socially awkward.

All of which can be resolved by you. Be the change you want to see in life. It starts with you.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You might draw some flak from some here on the forum, but I actually agree with you. Women spend their entire lives working on their appearance, and most men spend virtually zero time. We're lucky we even have pants on when we walk out the door.

All they need to see is a tiny bit of effort. That's all it takes to rise above average.

I like that you put the emphasis on "men".

Too many men cry and whine about how women are "unfair" and "selfish". Men really control their own fate in the dating world. The successful ones know this.

Because they don't find you attractive.

Agreed this is the number one reason. But the rest is really academic; more about being a fully-functioning human being than an attractive man.

Women will find you attractive, or they won't. To those that don't we say, 'meh' and move on. I used to struggle when chicks didn't wanna be with me because I enjoyed a lot of success in my formative years and I couldn't understand why that changed.

I figured it was my attitude. And I was right.

NB. Height is not something that is easily controlled.
