"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.

Basically I had a so-so first date with a girl recently. Honestly, the fact that we even had sex was surprising, as I didn't feel much of a click for the entire date up until the end where I basically just said fvk it and made a move. I gotta be honest and say we were both awkward and nervous through different points of the evening...and almost like inexperienced teenagers.

And tbh, that never happens to me. Conversation usually flows easily, and Im more confident, bold, and flirty throughout the evening. But it was hard getting a vibe off this girl at the time.

Now usually a kiss, and especially sex with a girl washes away all that nervousness and lack of familiarity between us...but I still feel unsure about this girl. Im not sure exactly how to approach things. Part of it is that she does seem a bit quieter and shyer than she was over text (we met online). And even liquid courage (alcohol), didn't have the same effect on me when I was with her last week.

Im wondering is this is really just one of those situations where you simply dont click with someone and I should be ok with that. Or if I can put myself in a better mindset and maybe build upon last week. And tbh, if I didn't try to kiss her for the hell of it during the first date, we'd likely not have gone out again...or just remained friends only.

I went for it because I felt "only way to know if there's any chemistry in any capacity, is to kiss her". So there's a little something there...but things are still up in the air.

Ever have a so-so first date, but a better 2nd date with someone? I guess Im just trying to get in the right mindset tonight...so positive thoughts breed positive outcomes.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

If the chick is quiet and shy, she's quiet and shy. You have to ask yourself what are you looking for in this situation. If you understand that you can't be romantically involved with a broad that's timid and reserved, then act accordingly and just understand that she's possibly just a good Fwb.Do not complain to her or ask her why she's so reserved and won't open up to you...that's a fools game. Take her as her worth. If she keep throwing you ass, just keep catching it. Keep your eyes and options open for chicks you click with who have more of a personality that you gravitate to.
