"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 have to say that I'm very tired of high school girls, but college girls have never been too accessible in my town. Looking forward to testing my DJ skills in an environment that is as close to the real world as it gets (outside of the real world, of course.)

That, and I can't wait to not have to live with my parents anymore. :up:
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Congrats on your move to college! When I got to highschool I thought "man the girls here are pretty" then when I got to college I said "man the girls here are hot," just wait till you get to university those are the real deal.

I can't wait either!

Also, when you start college, you probably have no rep, no history, etc., so you can create your identity exactly the way you want it. These last two months or so of high school is going to be torture!! Being trapped in one building for 7 hours a day and seeing how interior high school is to college makes me want to leave even more.

Coincidentally, one of the hottest, more sociable chicks in my school (HB 9-9.5) is going to the same private University as myself (I live in NY, so I said that since it's not a SUNY, where most of my high school goes to). Also, she is in the same "college/school" as me (like the School of Management/Business/Arts and Sciences/etc.). I spoke with her a little today about it, noting how she got a half-tuition scholarship. I happen to know a bit more about the school than her (I got in during Early Decision in November), so if she ha a question about something, she'll ask me. :whistle:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Happy for you, Flabbergasped, but college is nowhere near the real world, it is a sheltered and immature environment where unreal perceptions of the world can flourish undisturbed by reality. Still, have fun. If you can, find most of your friends among those whose studies are based on the natural sciences as everything else, including my own studies, is partly or fully flaky, and often influences the students, what with you having to read it for your exams. After college there is a whole lot of unlearning to do.

Though the sex is good!
