"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.

So theres this girl that i've been tryin to get with. Not really trying, but just being me. Shes attractive and i wouldn't mind a chance with her but i hadn't really liked her like as a gf. I've been keeping it C&F ever since like two or three weeks ago, and i dont take any of her bull so if she calls me out i ''hit'' right back. Everyone thought it was funny and that i was the man and stuff but as it went on I went into butthole mode. Not kool, i took it a lil too far so had to tone it down. Well through all this, i'n the back of my head i'm like ''i want her and i think i like her'' and at one point (since like everyone is like ''yall would make such a cute couple'' and "i can feel the tension") she asks me if i like her, and she was being all serious about it but she asked me at the lunch table and i was shocked that she asked me right then and there so i was like "ummm...lets talk about that later''(went blank when she asked me) and then a couple of days later i was in her chair and she was liek 'get up' and i just patted my lap and she sat down. I've tried that for like ever on her just playin around and she did it this time and i was like no way and she doesn't do that with any other guys. Theres another thing though, shes a big flirt and tease with other guys which plants little seeds of doubt but then i think of her askin me that question and the whole lap thing.

At this point i just wanna tell her that i like her and if she likes me too. Cause this one's got me confused. Straight up like that 'cause i'm tired of playin her games (all nice to me and stuff and plays back one day and the next day its like get away from me or dont talk to me) . Plus everyone is like, ask her out already and all that good stuff. Is this a good idea, or do yall have any other ideas that aren't passive but not too agressive.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

hmm..i wouldn't tell her you like her verbally, rather just show it....ask her to hang out on a weekend...go out jsut you 2...or if her friends are friends with your friends get a group gathering and just make a move...and if you go in for the kiss and it works pull away and say "does that answer your question?" and w/o letting her answer just go rigth back to kissing her...it'll get her to think and she'll enjoy it that much more.

Yeah, follow the date routine, coffee...or golfing, or something. She sounds like a big flirt and it probably won't work, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Just show her more-than-normal flirtacious attention for awhile (this could mean a couple days). Then ask her out (in any way you want).

It will make it seem "natural", imo.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

if she is a serious flrt with other guys in front of you then i would have second thoughts before asking her out, if a girl finds you attractive, then she would bag the flirting up in front of you.
