"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.

Theres a better chance of her losing interest over you trying squeeze her in before your vacation than her losing interest over a little off time. Hang out with her maybe once in the next week, preferably laying in a kiss or something, then go have fun on vacation. 9 out of 10 times she'll be waiting there when you get back. I can't tell you how many times I've been suprised when girls I haven't talked to in ages get up the guts to call me. You're a challenge, and they like it.

I agree. You have to make her want you while your away. A make out session would be the best way. Then have fun while your away, don't think about her and when you get back she'll jump on you.
 

"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.

Too busy my ass. All it takes is a 10 minute walk at night, some choice words, and a nice kiss. Start things up for christ sake.

Busy is an excuse. I'm sure you have a little bit of free time during one of your days.


A simple phone call saying that you're leaving for a few weeks and that you think that hanging out would be a good idea.


What on earth could keep you so busy that you can't hang out with a supposed 9.5?

1) have confidence that you are the best guy she will ever meet, let alone meet in the next 3 weeks
2) give off that vibe when you are with her
3) hook up with girls on vacation :)
