"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.

"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.

Are there any problems have u broke up before? is she holding out on you? remember to do your own things and dont be too needy i made that mistake and it cost me. If you act like a man there shouldnt be too much of a problem.

there are several LTR articles in the bible check them out.

- Do not see each other every day, all day
- Do things you want to do (hang out with friends, have your own time etc)
- Be a leader in the relationship
- Dont be too nice and trying to please her all the time.

If things are fine dont change into this nicer person who wants to cuddle all the time. Just be yourself if problems start to happen react.

again read the bible.

If you're rich, you can be an AFC for longer. Just work yourself to death to make the chick happy and try to buy her love. Just cover your ears and yell "LALALALALA!" really loud when she's about to tell you she's getting fed c0ck from another dude.

As long as you can pretend its all good, its ALL good.

Simple. Be the guy who attracted and got with her in the first place. Don't throw out the good qualities.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I've read plenty of threads on this website where AFC's are in LTRs, so the answer is yes. Is it a good idea? - never
