"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.

{EDIT to delete a very long rant}

Never mind.

Simply lock or delete this thread. It was about the same guys and their Oneitis or feeling attraction for woment that don't reciprocate. But I guess this is what this place is all about...help those people.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Well put. Just as an aside, I'm well aware of the of rash of "one-hit-wonder" posts on the Mature forum lately by members with a post count of under 5 who join the same month, but are posting on generalities or have these 'situations' based on some very brief, vague details, all of which are common themes we go into here.

If I see posts like this I'm not likely to respond, unless it's a long time lurker.
