After a week without sending email or sms what is the best email or sms opener? Do you just say hi, how are you? Its been a long time, how are you? Or are there better openers out there?
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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
How about your reach down to your pants and find your balls and grab onto them because you need to remind yourself that if you want something in this life "you got to have balls and go after it". Forget about the stupid email or sms and give the girl a call already. While you are working slowly and methadocially, some other dude is going to get her or already got her.generalmarcuz said:After a week without sending email or sms what is the best email or sms opener?

We're assuming that he has her number. If he has it her number, it looks even more AFC that he doesn't use it.DJDamage said:How about your reach down to your pants and find your balls and grab onto them because you need to remind yourself that if you want something in this life "you got to have balls and go after it".

Even if he doesn't have her number, the real question is "why doesn't he have her number"?Francisco d'Anconia said:We're assuming that he has her number. If he has it her number, it looks even more AFC that he doesn't use it.
