"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.

Hi
I don't like it when people ask theoretical questions on forums. my reply to such questions is always "go out and try it on 10 girls and there is your answer"
but I have been meaning to try this line and haven't been out and whenever I have been out I haven't run into reasonably attractive girls. I have been itching to find out how a reasonably attractive would react to this:
"excuse me, I am sure you don't get this all the time, but you're very pretty"
by reasonably attractive I mean she is not fat and disgusting to look at, just average or better.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Too obvious. Never tell a woman exactly what you mean, always make them think about what you said

but the lamo would say "I am sure you get this all the time" I am saying "I am sure you don't get this all the time"

OP , you compliment her clothing, never her features, she is looking for a man she can submit to not a man who fawns over her
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I don’t compliment anything related to how a woman looks. She needs to earn my compliments by impressing me with something she didn’t get for free like her good looks that her parents DNA gave her. Or her shoes that were made in a factory in China. She didn’t make them.

Exactly.

Pick up line in today's dating world: Hey whats up?
“Hey what’s shakin’ tootz” is one that gets a laugh 9 times out of 10 for me. Funny yet simple.

Don't compliment a girl so easly, a compliment should be something she has to earn not something you give out like candy to every girl you see.
