"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Have you ever been in confrontation with a person, that is impossible to reason with, and turned out tube an a-hole. Confronting just for the sake of confronting, because he is an a-hole. Just because.

I am in situation like this right now. Nothing I can do, but to ride this out. Yesterday wanted to kill him though, went outside chased him around. Guy got scared, instead of going to his home, ran around, thinking he could confuse me of where he lives. I had 1 hour of sleep in the past 48 and I figured out where he lives. Obviously what police says first, but if not, I'm not alone.
 

"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.

Obviously, we don't have the full context here, but when you are in a state of anger like that you'd better watch yourself.

You can get cheap cameras on Amazon or at Walmart. They can connect to your phone
 

"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.

You guys should learn martial arts…some proficient styles like boxing, kickboxing…wrestling or brazilian juijitsu for ground game….then learn the art of meditation for keeping a cool head…then learn verbal judo for diffusing tense situations with speech and body language.


This will make you ready for a fight.

Can you provide more context? What did he do?

That's a clip from a television news broadcast, which YouTube now says is offensive. Road rage fat chick sucker punches a smaller guy, and that turns out to be a poor decision.

Most people eventually end up in the hospital or dead. You seem to want to get into arguments for no reason.

Grow up. As you mature, you realize these are pointless and usually only serve to greatly shorten your lifespan.
 

"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.
