"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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I don't see a problem with complimenting her as long as you are doing it because you want to and not to gain her approval. In other words, don't expect it to increase her attraction to you. But it may please her to think that you appreciate her.

The primary danger here is boosting her ego to the point where she thinks she can do better than you. But if she's that type of girl, better to find out earlier than later.

flattery= dishonest comment on something that people already know about themselves (e.g: beauty, hair,clothes...etc)

compliment/praise = sincere original comment...it is earned

You can surely do it, but keep it limited. You can later increase it, only if you mean it, when she proves her longevity. That ʂhit goes to their head quicker than JD on an empty stomach.

When I compliment a girl I make sure not to give the compliment directly to her if she is the type to let that get to her head.

That dress looks great on you!

is very different from:

You are beautiful!

Generally girls that are not so hot looking do better at receiving compliments.

The really good looking girls rarely get compliments from me... ever. It just gets to their heads and makes them more difficult to manage. I have known some girls that within 15 minutes of a compliment just have to crack an attitude because of it.

To compliment her directly is a form of worship and all women are allergic to a man worshiping them.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
