"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 just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Yes, I do believe we share a similar philosophy and it's no coincidence as you have been a particular inspiration and help to me on this board. Your photo is definitely congruent with what you teach and I have to agree it's one of the reasons I've always paid so much attention to your advice. It's easy to believe that women fall over you without much effort, and in my eyes, that's the peak of being a "DJ" and everything I want from this community. So I've gladly taken your advice and followed your philosophy and I believe there are many others (esp the H&F regulars) who think the same.
I also agree that I am not going to take the advice of just anybody who speaks a big game without some kind of evidence. I actually did that a lot when I started here and tested almost every theory and acted on every piece of advice I was given...and I paid for it quite harshly at times. Luckily I have a bit more conviction in myself and more experience under my belt these days, but it does worry me that some other newbies will do the same and risk destroying a relationship or their confidence as a result. It's scary because some guys who come here have serious issues, with some verging on suicidal and these braggart theorists could do more harm than they realise.
However, I generally think it's wise for people just to treat these as discussion boards, rather than professional councelling and guidance columns.

Some of these guys showed prove of picture and some did not pook never showed any prove as far as i know and he is till respected* i may be wrong? it goes both ways me thinks posting a picture with a girl does not, i repeat does not make you a dj
he he he you all think im a newbies.
so the saying you are who your friends are is only partly true or whats your take on it?
btw what does this mean when im not envious nor putting guys with game on a pedestal(have done this before) only having respect and being interested, does this mean i have game myself or what huuummm interesting
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Know what's sad?
DR BEARD IS RIGHT!
There's been too much whining on the form, too much conflict(even in this thread!) and not enough support!
The best thing that could be done here is to make a FIELD REPORT FORUM! That would centralize information that men have used in the field. This information could be easily found, read and condensed into a form worthy of the tips section by readers, or by the poster of the field report himself.
We are here to share information. Not to pretend, not to attack others, not to whine. We are here to learn.

That is ALL one really needs...... I've been a lil bitkh over the last few months. My game has grown very stale. Im so out of practice. I'm going to get all manic and go on a sarging bender. I need the vigor that I had when I first got here....
