"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.

Anyone ever date a woman whose father passed away early on in life?

I've met a few girls like this in the past few years.

Here in the forums, we've spoken about women that grew up in broken homes. But obviously, this is a different form of experience than just growing up in a broken house. It's growing up without a father figure altogether.

Does anyone have any experience with this? From my observations (and it's rather quite limited until recently), they tend to be more feminine than other women. I can see that -- as they probably identified completely with the feminine side of things while growing up.

I did notice that you need to display more masculine traits than usual when interacting with these types of girls.

Thoughts? Am I off-base with this?

I always respect the opinions of this group -- thanks guys!
 

"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.

I think it's tough to generalize this one.

But my experience was she was the best girlfriend I have had. Loving, great sex, caretaker. Longest relationship I was ever in.

My wife's father was murdered when she was younger.

She is a great person, very caring and loyal, docile and feminine. She's so great that I wanted to keep her.
