The Shocker

**** on the coats.
"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's a good Birthday present for a girl you like?

"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.

make a shirt or a sign that says "I am the gift" and just walk up to her and give her a hug.
I did this to a girl and not only did we end up going on a couple of dates, but both her and everyone there laughed really hard which led to props from the guys and all the girls talkin' about it while giggling.
It is also cheap and very original.

If you can... do a "Oh since its your birthday you get to hang out with me." type comment, kind of makes you the prize.
as for the gift... NO ROSES, NO $300 GLASSES, get her a funny birthday card...
I got one that said "You're turning 8 today" to a 19 year old girl and she loved it.
and maybe get her something funny and say it reminded you of her like those keychains that when you squeeze them brown stuff comes out. =D

"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.

Your best friend - yes. And if you want to be a friend - yes. If you want to hook up with her, set yourself apart from the friend (who buys a nice gift) and make her laugh. If you do a good job with it, like others here have suggested, than she will walk away with a smile on her face thinking about you and at the end of the day you end up in a better place than the chumps who shelled out a couple of dollars for a CD she probably already has or soemthing else.Noob said:

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

do you want her to fvck you or dane cook?
Just give her a dope drawing that you did in a boring History class. Make sure it's funny. Be spontaneous and thoughtful, but don't go far out of your way. You're a busy man, and as cute as she is, you aren't at the point in the relationship where you can afford to spend any significant amount of time or money on her, unless it's in doing something (ie. a date), and even then, don't go overboard on cash.
