"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.

When is it okay to hang out next with her?

Now this is just something I've been wondering about. If I get wiht some random girl at a party on a friday night, should I want to hang with her the next night? I usually don't text/call the next day but what if they text/call me to hang out...Do I say I'm busy or do I hang out with them?

What about if its a girl that isn't random that you've both been wanting each other for soem time now?
 

"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.

you say your busy. Give them the impression that you party on friday and you party on saturday.

I'll agree with the Master Disaster on this one. I've found an excellent "busy" tactic that should work in your situation.

If a girl texts, IMs, or calls you asking you to hang out, look at your clock. I usually go by the three-hour rule, but this tactic requires lots of willpower. If the time she sets is within the next three hours, I say that I have already made plans with my friends and that she should tell me more in advance next time. Then I call up some of my buddies and we all go off to chill somewhere. It's all a big frame test reversal. Usually women just want to have your listening ear or to use you as emotional support. I've trained my girls to follow the three-hour rule. Plus, it gives me plenty of time to finish whatever I'm doing, and prepare to look my best.
