"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'm 25. Got out of college in May but have yet to find a job (I still have my old job that is hourly, make ok money). I had an apartment for 5 years but just moved back in with my parents because school was finished and I needed to clear my head.

I'm from Boston and would love to move back there (I now live in Texas), but the economy back there sucks and it doesn't look good for me. I could stay in Texas a little longer and hope the economy gets better but I really don't like it out here. Most of my friends moved away after graduation and my girlfriend dumped me tonight, which is good actually as it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

My car is about to break down, I don't have much money, and I have to start paying student loans soon. I feel like I'm losing it a bit.

On the plus side I'm in great shape, very muscular and looking good. Plus my Boston accents makes it easy to get ladies out here.
 

"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.

You've been through a lot recently.

Its time to chill out, use that accent to get laid a few times, go out have a couple of drinks or whatever you do to relax then laugh about all the stress you've been under recently...continue to chill...then formulate your plan for what you want to do from here. :rock:

Congrats, your childhood is officially over. Less chilling, more planning, and even more action. Keep job hunting, keep envisioning, stay in the fight; periods like the one you're in can make you or break you.

My official advice:

1. Bang some chicks in Texas.
2. Move back to Boston. Compile a complete roster of all debts and credits.
3. HUNT HUNT HUNT for a job. Leave no stone unturned, your employment opportunities are limited only by your imagination.
4. SAVE MONEY AND GET RID OF THE TOXIC DEBT

The SOP of the next few years MUST be to face these problems head on and to the best of your ability.
