"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 I'm dealing with will be hospitalized over the weekend. She was diagnosed with a blod clot in her brain. I sent her a text saying I'm here for her if she needs anything. What can I do to let her know that I care? I was just starting to like this girl (after the last fiasco...) and then this happens...we were hitting it off very well too. I feel like sh!t just thinking about it! It eats me alive...I can't take it. I know that this could turn out to be serious...
What do I do guys? Should I ask her what hospital she will be staying at and go and visit her?
 

"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.

No you should definitely play it cool and not go see her, that way as she's dying she'll be thinking about how much she wants to have sex with you

Pretty sure serious illness trumps acting suave. At this point forget everything you've learned and be there for her.
