"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.

A girl who was extremely in to me (it was so obvious everyone could tell :p) once asked me "you don't have a girlfriend?!" Another girl's asked me that question again. And then...

This chick whom I met in an overseas conference came back to Taiwan today, and sms-ed me along with two other people she knew.
Though I wasn't jumping up and down about meeting her, I avoided the AFC thing anyway and kept the phone calling at a minimum...she stays in another city and she told me she'd be busy most of the day... so she told me to visit any day But saturday, but who the hell cares, my mom happened to be going to the same city she was living in on saturday so I took the opportunity to go...
met the girl today, had some great conversations, busted her balls once in a while though it never got sexy enough...

And then before I was about to leave, right in the middle of a conversation... she asked the same question:
"You don't have a girlfriend?"
It wasn't said in a tone that said "Ah poor you..." but it obviously sounded something like "(wow, youre so cool, and i'm surprised that)You don't have a girlfriend?!?!"

I gave an indifferent "no" and kept talking.

I've definately learned a lot from this site and have come to be a lot more attractive and everything, but chicks still confuse the hell out of me sometimes and i wanna hear what you guys have to say about this. Checked around on the forum for this topic and came up empty--i thought there'd be plenty of people with this experience?
 

"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.

As you said it's one of two things, either she's saying it in a patronizing way like the typical, 'Awwww you don't have a gf that's such a shame you deserve one' (but funnily enough the girl won't go out with him) or 'Wow you're actually single? That's surprising, I am interested ...'. The type of interactions you have and her voice tone says it all though.

"You don't have a girlfriend?"


Geeze! I just met you, I barely know you, we weren't even intimate, AND you want to be my girlfriend!!!!! I hope you are not one of those stalker types....

*****blah*****

You know I'm not one of those guys. I like to first see if woman are qualified to be with me.







They are asking this because they like you and want to be your girlfriend. At the same time it's a sh!t test.. If you're too good to be true, you'd say NO, or some silly thing like that.. These silly things are intellectual and do not provoke any emotion within her.. Speak to her emotions, tell her, yea I'm real, and yea you can have me, but you gotta work for it.. Like above..

after the second time once you've confirmed her interest the first time you should've followed up with:

her: you don't have a gf?
you: what? you want to be my gf?

IF:

her: no...
you: yeah we're much better off as friends

IF:

her: yeah
you: damn I gotta put you on the waitlist. ;) but in the meantime while you're waiting, gimme ur #, meet me at 7, etc. blah blah
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Her: "You don't have a girlfriend?"
Me: "Nope, I got a wonderful boyfriend and he told me to go meet someone new."

or

Me: "I got three right now, but I am looking for a fourth."
(if said in the correct way, then it works. I know, I have used it.)
