"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.

What is yours ? clubs ? bars ? Shopping malls ? Colleges ? etc

I actually do alright at clubs but by far my favourite place is supermarkets

why ?

Girls are usually on their own, no boyfriends, mother hens etc

I usually just open asking a girl for an opinion on some food items. From there i'll continue if there is some chemistry, if not, i move on and say 'thanks for the advice'
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Ditto. Easy to find women with similar interests and they're all over the place doing all types of things.

college works for me too, but it's the events and actually doing things at college that work for me. club events or even basketball games or something. i find i can't just hit on a girl at the library, i have trouble just starting a conversation out of nothing. so for me its easier when we're already both focused on something like an event, and then we can talk about it and then it'll lead to other discussions

I like the side walk, for some reason a lot hot chicks walk on it.
 

"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.

I can't stand malls, so I guess trying to pickup girls there wouldn't work for me. My absolute favorite is concerts and special events, or large bars that have concerts in them. The Active 2030 parties are crazy, as the point of those parties is to have the largest number of drunk hot girls in their 20's and 30's as possible. I used to go to clubs a lot more, sadly not as much anymore, that venue used to be my favorite.

Sadly, I wasted all of my good years in college being a nervous douchebag around women.
 

"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.
