"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.

I'm looking to buy an outfit.

A nice blazer can go a long way.

However what style or colour(patterned square or a solid colour) should I go for with what? (A v neck tee)?
 

"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.

Solid navy blue is the most versatile colour for a blazer. The more coarse the weave, generally the more casual the jacket.

Pair it with a polo shirt or a button-down collared shirt. Add a tie to latter if you want a more formal look. Go for a shirt in a contrasting colour to the blazer - pale blue, cream or white, for example.

Pair that up with chinos (more casual) or tailored trousers (smarter look) and maybe a pair of loafers or chukka boots if it's colder.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
