"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.

"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.

Both england and belgium is professional, so I don't think they will faul a lot. Is it true that over there there is a fake ass news about dogs and cats being shot over here prior to games?

I live in Japan, who advanced by playing a "prevent defense" even though they were down 0-1. I also understand they advanced because they got fewer yellow cards.

Not the boldest of the 16. They play Belgium next. 8-1 to win for Japan and 2-5 for a Belgium win.

I'm in Africa.

The VAR has been controversial to say the least. Argentina, Spain and Portugal could easily have been out.

The Poland - Japan game was played at an eerily pedestrian pace in the last 15 minutes. Neither team was trying to get the ball in the opposition half, let alone scoring.

I know Argentina and Spain have looked far from impressive, but so did Real Madrid before winning the champions league.

I fancy one of the two to win it all.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

How is it being received over there?
Japanese are pretty fickle. Last time they made it to the sweet 16, you could see kids playing soccer in the parks. But as soon as they lost, nobody said boo.

But from now until Tuesday, everybody loves soccer. But nobody has any serious hopes of getting past Belgium. If they even score a goal they'll be happy.

The games on early tuesday here, 2 or 3 AM, so I expect Wed morning they'll be a lot of sleepy, sad, hungrover folks. It'll be fun while it lasts though.

Japanese like their sumo, local and high school baseball, but anything international is just happy to be there.

Girls soccer is another story.

Argentina knocked out, in the game of the tournament so far.Well, I guess I wouldn't do too well as a pundit.

France look dangerous and Mbappe seems to be coming of age.

The Ballon D'or will surely go to someone outside of Ronaldo and Messi this year, depending on who wins the World Cup, IMO.

Nice to finally have a change if you ask me.

@deesade

Did you do any damage around town?

Everybody expects Europe to be destroyed by collapsing currencies and immigration. It'd be funny it was destroyed by soccer hooligans.

I put money on France and won! England and Germany didn't come through, even though I put money on them. You guys are not mentioning victory ceremoney it was wonderful, rain started halfway through, and it was magical.


 

"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.
