"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 just started taking creatine yesterday couple with a mass gaining diet. I have already noticed a difference (its the water that stays in your muscles) and its only been 24 hours so I am pleased....

I have a few questions.

1) I workout 4 days a week. Do I need to take my creatine on my off days? If so in what amounts? (When I workout I take the pills of creatine w/ 3 before and 3 after)

2) Do I need to keep drinking water like crazy on my off days?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

1. Yes, take creatine on your off days. Take 3 grams less on the days that you don't workout. How much are you currently using?

2. Yes since you'll be taking it on those days as well.

YES

Drink water like there is no tomorrow. Forget all other beverages (except coffee and beer)...
