"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.

after all the improvement I thought I had been doing since discovering pu...

i wen't out this weekend with some people in which I regretted going...sooooo in making the best of it I just got pretty drunk and not really worrying about picking up girls

out of the blue this hb10 ( I spotted her earlier but she had like 6 guys hanging around her) starts dancing right in front of my table and out of nowhere extends her hand out to me for a dance

lets just say that things wen't less than great...
maybee cause I was taken by suprise?
or just the alcohol was screwing me over?

either way my friends thought I was too aggressive and blew it *sigh*

this rant is just so everyone knows not to take my advice
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

What's important is that you learned your lesson and hopefully you wont **** it all up for the next one.

You know what? WHO CARES? You shouldn't care. You will never see her again,and in one weeks time, she will probably forget. No big deal. Drop it like it was a piece of **** and move on. Just know for next time.

There is something to learn in every interaction.

...not really worrying about picking up girls...out of the blue this hb10 ... had like 6 guys hanging around her starts dancing right in front of my table and out of nowhere extends her hand out to me for a dance

She was hot for your indifference.
 

"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.

to be honest when i wrote this post i wasn't sure why but now i guess i do...

i could care less about sleeping with that girl although it would have made for a better weekend

I guess i thought if I can pick up on girls that didn't give a single ioi then a girl that opens me should be super easy...however this might not be the case

and ur right on bible belt... i still am much more aware of my bl and social situation even when im not doing pu and suspected something like this

so yah i learned a lot...lets hope i can use it lol
