"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.

I currently have a gf but things are not going well so im sarging for back ups. I asked a girl to grab a bite of food before she works but she suggested to go to the beach at night. Am i over analyzing or is she showing sign of interest? I have no intention other than just friends at this point for personal reasons.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

It looks like she is interested.


What exactly are you looking for? You seem to be confused. If you're looking for a back up then you intend to be more then friends. Decide if you should stay with your GF or not. You don't have to be cheating or sneaking around then.

Mixed bag.

She rejected your one on one offer but with her counter offer who knows if she will even show up or bring friends to make it seem more casual.

I usually avoid counteroffers because it places the ball in her court. I would have just said that I would be busy that night but still get her number so I can call her another night where the ball once again will be in my court.
