"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.

BAD date on POF - got the truth from her

"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.

well, women in general prefer someone with nice teeth.

A friend of mine had a tooth missing on the front side which showed when he smiled....whenever we double dated, his date would tell my date....he needs to find his missing tooth.

He got it fixed though and ever since....it's not been a problem or commented on.

His confidence is way higher now knowing that gap is not there.

Did you really need to do that detective work to find out you should get your teeth fixed? You really didn't know appearances mattered before you found this out? Do you not care about appearances?

I guess do whatever works for you but I probably wouldn't reccommend one of my friends to do something like this. I would give him the same advice everyone gives here, it's not healthy to dwell on someone you don't even know like that. Chalk it up as a loss, move on and try to improve yourself.(Appearance as well)

Obviously do whatever works for you but don't know if it's really the healthiest thing to do.

Ugh. Guys, he's a troll.

And obviously a bored troll...with lots and lots of free time on his hands.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
