"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.

Does anyone have any of these, or know much about them? I can't decide which one to go with. Based on the information I have found, there seems to be some big pros and cons to each of them. So, I would like to hear of any personal experiences with them.

I do have an iPhone, which is making me lean towards AppleTV, since I can stream anything from my phone onto the TV. It just seems that Roku is a lot more flexible otherwise.

Thoughts?
 

"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.

Define what you want. Do you want TV? Do you want internet TV? Do you want to watch HD movies?

What are your needs first of all, and then you figure out which product and service best meets that.

Well, my last roommate had a wi-fi ready TV that had Netflix, Pandora, and YouTube apps on it. I decided to go for a nicer TV that was a little cheaper because it was not wi-fi ready, but now I would like to go with something external to use those same features.

Now that I have looked into them a little bit more, I am seeing there are additional options to consider (i.e. mirroring your iPhone to the AppleTV). I know AppleTV does not have Pandora, where Roku does, but can I simply play Pandora on my iPhone and have it come through on the AppleTV?

I have cable, so I'm not necessarily looking for straight cable from this device. I think considering my needs, any of the options would be sufficient. I am just curious if anyone here has any experiences with them to give some personal recommendations.
