"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.

With anything like this, if it is said in a playful manner, I have always followed with "Yes, yes I am. Don't worry, you will grow to like it." Then a smirk. Always seems to get a laugh...

Don't.

This may sound like a smartass answer to a rhetorical question, but you don't have to react to everything she says. By doing so (being reactive), you're letting her control the frame. It took me a while to learn this.

Don't feel the need to analyze every little thing she does and make a witty comeback to it. Just hang back a bit and smile. You can have her qualify herself later.
 

"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.

amen.

i used to actually feel a little butt hurt when girls would try to get fiesty and tease with things like that. nowadays, its one of the things that gets a very minimal reaction to me. maybe a smug smile, or a pat on the head. come to think of it, over time ive gotten to the point where a lot of stupid girlie behavior (like whining about stupid things) i mostly just ignore or nod a bit.

the bottom line is that were expected to be confident and sure of ourselves... girls like to ****-test to see if we really are. as stated above, by reacting to her or actually taking offense, youre letting her control your frame (and emotions). by keeping your cool, youre solid as a rock and her bs splashes off like water.
