"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.

"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.

Dude, who knows what it means. Maybe it means that you're funny. If you like her, you gotta escalate. Stop playing it safe, looking for little meaningless signs. Grab your balls and dive in.

It's more like, they smirk and analyze me in a very logical way, "you're funny." There's gotta be other guys who have been in my shoes.
"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.

If she's saying "you're funny" to your penis though...this probably isn't a great thing. On the plus side you'll probably still get to do her. On the negative side she might be singing Disney songs whilst you do.
( but just in case, try to regulate the amount of silly jokes you make. It's often really anoying to me guys that jsut keep making jokes and then laugh to it saying ahhhh i'm just messing with ya. It just makes me walk away. Guys that like you but try to making themselve look like they don't care teasing you like a 8yo. So unsexy. Most of the time they are like even 25 and convinced that's the way to make girls fall but It makes me imagine he would do the same during sex and brrrr gives me bad shivers)
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

STOP OVER-ANALYSING FOR F*CKS SAKE!
Oh yes i love this scene. Actually a couple of guys have answered to me funny how?? and then we acted out the the rest of the scene.f283000 said:I knew somebody was going to do it sooner or later
You know, the way you tell the story, you're funny, you're a funny guy!
Props for recognizing Scorsese flicks especially Goodfellas. As george carlin said, Joe Pesci seems like he would be a good god since he would get **** done.BBbardot said:
Let's over-analyse the sh*t out of this and base the rest of our life based on the conclusion!

I don't think it's an IOI or sign of friendzone in it of itself. You are reading into it too much. If she is physically attracted to you, funny is a plus. If she is not physically attracted to you, being funny just makes you a cool friend to talk to.piday314 said:
At worst, if you overdo the funny, you become the try-hard dancing monkey, and that is a turn off.
