"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.

Women don't like being "approached", they want it to be a very natural and smooth process where they feel like it happened with no effort but most of the time that's very difficult. There is a super cute girl who actually went to my high school that works as a teacher but waitress part time at a local pub. How in God's green earth am I gonna build enough rapport with her to ask her out??

When I go out to bars and clubs, every cute girl is with multiple friends

how do you guys navigate through all these extremely annoying obstacles???
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Bro you don't need to build much rapport to ask for a date. If you're as good looking as you claim, spark up a convo, be lighthearted, make her laugh then drop "we should go for a drink, when are you free".

It's like you're making this harder than it needs to be, stop living in your head or you will have a mental breakdown soon.

only an anti-social woman truly dislikes being approached though, the rest only like it when guys they like approach them
