"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.

Age-Specific Social Events: Crashing the Party?

So I look significantly younger than my age. Some people tell me I could pass for a college student. Doormen often express surprise when they see my ID. I could blend into an event that is designated for say an 18 to 30 crowd pretty easily.

I'm tempted to to do this, as it's a lot easier to meet people at social events instead of cold approaching at bars and clubs. Bars and clubs are just too chaotic for me and the hours are hardly ideal for someone who wants to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy my mornings and if I'm out till 2 or 3 or later, chances are I'm either going to sleep in or just be hammered the "next" (or same) morning.

Even though I could, I'd feel guilty if I did. Even if I come clean and tell them my actual age, if they let me slide, then why not allow anyone of any age to attend? In so doing, it just defeats the purpose of the social event. I've seen this happen before where I've attended 20's and 30's events and people who are clearly in their 40's and 50's and even 60's show up. It's a drag. I'm tempted to crash the party but I don't wanna be "that guy" either.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

I suppose I'm splitting hairs here and shouldn't worry about it too much. I'll probably just go and then tell the truth if I'm asked about age.

I don't think you will find a lot of hot 22 year old co eds at Meetup. I thought about meetup but down there when I looked at the user profiles most looked to be women over 60 who're retired.

I supposed Meetup might be a good place to find cougars though, single women in their 40s. Down here with the demographics I think I'm going to stick with the cougars under 50.

I figure if I can keep growing my business I'll just keep going beta buxx route.

Just lie man. Who cares? Women lie all the time, from the moment they wake up and "put their face on". Why shouldn't you? It's not YOUR fault they're stupid

Be the lone wolf. Be smarter than everyone in the room. Ahead of the game
 

"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.

You don't see anything wrong with lying about age? They do it on OLD.
