"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.

. My female friend with over 9000 guys interested in her likes me, but I don't see her in that way

. I like her best friend whom NOBODY is interested in, but she doesn't see me in that way

Why? Just why :confused:

Guys literally cry over the girl who likes me (we're all in the same social circle and these guys are mates of mine), I've really tried to see her in a romantic way but it's REALLY not gonna happen (though I've had sex with her)
 

"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.

Ok, because you are not offended easily, and I like that, I'm going to reply for real.

It f'cking sucks, I know the feeling, but I also know that you forget her if you meet a girl that is even more awesome than the girl you like now.

Thanks for the encouragement :) But yeah it's kinda tough because I have to see her often and because she's now in a relationship with some other guy, but nevermind
 

"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.

It's funny, she has 9000 guys after her but wants you? Hmmm.. why? Because you're not all AFC. You're a challenge. She sees value in you over the puppy dogs. The rules at work.

Meeting a girl who is even more awesome makes you instantly forget less awesome girls. It's simple and effective.

Keep meeting more and more awesome girls.
