"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.

A lot of recent posters talk about game? What is it? I sort of get what you mean but not completely.

What is game? How can you improve it?
 

"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.

When I say game ...I mean verbal game.Literally what you say to women.

It actually means your whole style when it comes to picking up women.Everything from your job to your car can affect can be considered part of your game.

One must understand 'the rules' in order to truly have 'game.'

Game is just a slang word...if you have a lot of game, you pick up women easily. If you need to improve your game, that just means you have to get better at flirting, etc. "Game" isn't some technical term or anything like that...
 

"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.

Flirting is just a skill, like approaching and closing. Just because someone knows how to do one or all of those things does not necessarily mean that he has 'game.'

Think of the guys on this site that have read thread after thread in the forum on what to do and not to do on a date. Yet every other day there are post about what gifts to buy after a month anniversary, how long should he talk to her on the phone and where to go on a date. These guys may have the skills but they definitely DO NOT have 'game.'

To have game, you must understand AND accept the laws or 'rules' of human interaction as it pertains to men and women. These rules include but are not limited to understanding that men are driven by logic while women are driven by emotion; that women prefer bad boys over nice guys even though they may not admit it and not to judge a woman by what she say but by what she does.

Being able to understand, accept and most of all knowing how to use DJ skills effectively with these and other rules is what gives you 'game.' To be successful you need to study, experiment and adjust your skills to become more effective with your skills. With enough practice you may become so successful in your interactions with women, it will feel as if you are playing a game in that you interact with women solely for your amusement.

What's even more exciting is that if you continue to learn and enhance your skills to match your personality, you may get to the point where you are successful even though you you don't use all of the DJ rules, that you start creating your own rules that work very well with your personality and skills. Why not? It's just a game. :p
