"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.

What the hell does it mean when you ask a girl out and she agrees; but when you call her the next day she doesn't answer? I don't mean like one time either. I called her like five times. And I'm not going to call her again.

How can a girl say she loves you one day, and ignore you the other? Does she think I'm gonna get desperate for her or something?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Perhaps, I still think it's very irresponsible of her. I don’t want to lose her, but I want to make it clear to her that I’m not going tolerate crap like that.

I know those type of girls. They are b1tches no offense dude. They show they care when you see them, but on the inside it's because she likes you and doesn't care about you at the same time.

DON"T CALL A CHICK 5 TIMES IN ONE DAY!!!!
 

"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.

She is not even yours so you CANT loose her. And you want to make it clear you wont tolerate her crap............am I missing something here, you are not even with her!! You cant get all emotional like that. And the other thing, what were you thinking calling 5 times in one day............?? What do you mean she says she loves you one day when you just asked her out? Does she think you are going to get desperate for her? Sounds like you already are!

OHHH MY GOD, there really are people like this in the universe

Are we missing something here? you went from getting her number to her being in a committed relationship?

You almost sound like the obsessive/stalker types who takes a hint of attention and fantasizes its a full fledged love affair

you better slow down buddy and learn about the reality of relationship development

I've known her for more then a year and we talked often, but I never actually went out with her as a date. She was a "friend". But in the process I fallen in love with her and she (apparently) fell in love with me (though I'm calling bull).
She knows I love her and she can do **** like that to me and get away with it, and to some extent she is right. Watch tomorrow she's be like "oh I'm sorry, I was <enter excuse here>". It's funny tho, because when I used to say nice **** about her ("I love you", "your beautiful") she never returned the favor, but when I acted like I didn't need her and she is bothering me it went the opposite way. So in essence I can’t get away from her. The DJ Bible is so right it's sad. Personally I'm going just tell her how I feel and if she doesn't like it, screw her. I really don't need her in my life as much I thought I did. :)

you failed to make a connection and/or establish a high enough interest level. it's as simple as that. it has nothing to do with her responsibility level, lack of an answering machine, busy schedule, or bad timing/luck on your part. this is the case in 99% of womens broken dates and flaky behavior.

women who are interested don't break dates. think about that giddy girl who just got asked out by the guy she's been pining over for a couple months. is she gunna fvck up her chances w/ him? no. the answer is no.

go back to the drawing board. demonstrate genuine interest in her personally and demonstrate value in yourself... if you have some to demonstrate.

better connections = better chance of a date. in other words sometimes if you don't take time to get to know a chick and socialize with her then she's gunna flake on you when you ask her out. learning natural progression of a healthy relationship is very important. im guessing that a lot of times this sort of thing happens to guys it's because they just met the girl and haven't developed a connection deep enough to sustain interest level above flakeout level.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Oh I get ya. I feel sorry for you man, you are lying to yourself when you say you dont need her in your life. Get rid of her and you will feel empty, it is only natural, dont try to pretend you dont care. I feel for you though, I know what its like when you really love a girl but she doesnt show you the love in return. Control yourself, dont just tell her everything you think. Detatch yourself from her, date other girls. Look after #1, YOURSELF!!

She probably still considers me a friend. I wouldn't have asked her out if she didn't making so damn easy for me beforehand. She was saying things like "I really love you", and "you know I broke up with my boyfriend". I'm confused at what the hell her intentions are, if she really loves me or not, or if she is playing some kind of strange game with me.

No, really I'm not that attached to her. There was this point where I was practically obsessed with her, I couldn't even stop thinking about her. But lately (past month or so) I've been realizing that I was just stupid. I think that's why she acted this way; she wants someone to treat her like a goddess to counter her old boyfriend treating her like ****. When I stopped treating her like a goddess (mostly thanks to this site, actually) she broke up with her boyfriend. Weird eh?

You are still obsessing, thats not a good thing

and why would you decide to finally just tell her everything you feel? you already said you compliment her and she doesnt return the favor.

If you spill your guts, SHE WONT RETURN THE FAVOR

and she might even run like a cheetah

my take is if you have known her for a year you are JUST a friend to her. I have had girls who LJBF'ed me, and still said shyat like "I love you", "I wish I had a guy like you!" totally fvcking with my mind and confusing me.

But when I showed romantic interest to them, they backed off.

You need to stop telling her how you feel, go on a date with her, and move in for a kiss, etc

That will be the indicator whether she is interested or not.

If she keeps blowing you off, start working on her guilt and call her pet names like "Hey Flakey Chick!" (but in a joking manner)

eventually she wont flake, then you can go on your date and find out if the love is mutual or just imagined in your head
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Thanks for the advice. What I meant by "tell her what I feel" is more like, "I don't like being treated like sh!t, because I'm not sh!t, and I don't wanna be your 'friend' anymore, and if you don't like that g'bye" except in a nicer way. I'm guessing she will react to this favorably (from how she usually reacts when I act like that), but if she doesn't as they say NEXT. She is very attractive (i'd say a 7 or 8), and she is fun, but I don't think she is one in a million. That’s the illusion (emphasis on illusion) I’ve been giving myself, that she is the one, that if I lose her I’d never find anyone as good as her.

She probably wasn't home. On top of that, when she comes home and sees your number on her caller ID five times she's likely to think you're a stalker wanna be or just plain desperate.
