"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.

I've been doing some thinking about the idea of approaching women in general, and I've realized that one big reason a lot of guys are afraid of asking a woman out, is they don't know what to do if they get rejected, hence: they have no Exit Strategy.

Countless times I've found myself asking a girl out, getting rejected, and just standing there... not knowing what to say. So I end up saying something stupid and/or just walking away. I personally think it would be worth discussing how to deal with this part of the situation, hence: how to walk away from rejection without making a fool out of yourself and becoming discouraged in trying again with someone else.

Example: There's this girl at a local Subway that I was flirting with, and I decided I wanted to try asking her out the next time I was there. I know how to ask, so I spent my time thinking about "How do I make a smooth exit if she says she has a boyfriend?"

What I came up with was something to the effect of "That's too bad, we could a had a lot of fun together" or just smile and be like "Such a shame, guess you'll just have to miss out then huh?"

Having these exits in mind gives me loads more confidence, cuz I know if things don't go the way I want, I can walk away still looking and feeling good about myself.

So yeah, what is ya'lls take on the Exit Strategy?
 

"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.
