"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.

Blah...man, I am frustrated.

What do you do when you meet this girl, talk a lot, start liking her, she gives you HER number without you even asking, and calls you a million times a week, but...

...SHE'S GOT A BOYFRIEND!!???

Help! What do I do? I'm attracted to this girl, and I keep hearing about how her boyfriend is a complete pooch-screw. (He spent two hours with her on Valentine's Day playing video games and got her nothing whatsoever.) It's not cool to make a move on another man's girl...

...Right?



P.S. I'm making sure to stay out of the friends zone on this one, so I'm not sure if that's the case. She keeps making sexual innuendos and stuff and answered the door in a little bathrobe when I went to her house one time, so I'm getting the feel she's into me...but then I think about her boyfriend again. ::Slams head against desk repeatedly::
 

"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.

It's her boyfriend's responsability to keep her away from other guys, not yours. Make a move and see what happens. Let her dump his sorry ass if thats what it comes down to.

I have to disagree somewhat on what blienk said, i can understand how its the bf fault if he doesnt really please the girl, but its the girls choice to do watever, just do watever she wants. And if her bf gets pissed its his own fault he cant do things right. I would just go over to her house or something and ask her about the situation and whats going on, and then u can probably make a move from there if shes willing.

Where I be at
to me based on my experiences and other people's boy/girl friends are hardly ever permanent, so it isn't exactly a sin.. just frowned upon.

By what you have posted, to me it looks like on one hand you have a guy who appreciates his chick but doesn't need her and you are willing to give her everything you think she deserves. Chill out and find another chick

Whoa, hold it. It's not that I've got a severe case of oneitus or anything with this chick. I'm just attracted to her and I wanted to hear your opinions about the boyfriend thing.

I came off a little desperate since I was just over her house tonight. LoL She is really freaking hot and she teases me... :eek:

Thanks for the advice, though. Anyone else willing to shed light on the subject?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Well from what you said she is obviously into you. So I suggest you just ignore the fact that she has a b/f and keep doing whatever your doing to attract her. She will probably then dump her b/f and go with you. Also if her b/f isnt doing his part to attract her (playing vid games) then he doesnt deserve her anyway. Just make sure he isnt the type of chump that will threaten you for seeing his girl, but if she likes you then she may be able to talk him down.

Dude, I'm not worried about this kid if he wants to fight. I seriously have about three times the muscle mass this guy has. (Football and working out every damn day.) I could break him in half over my knee. :rolleyes:

If he wants to threaten me, he can go right ahead. In fact, I hope he starts a fight with me. That would be fantastic.
