"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.

Hi there, my teeth are kinda baddish. The bottom ones are fine but the top front 4 are dodgy shape and a bit wonky. I know i could just get braces but

- going on holiday with friends in June
- startin Uni in Sept

I dont mind the teeth as such although im not always as comfortable smiling and showing em off (the front 2 can only be seen kinda like bugs bunny but not that bad)

I wouldnt mind braces its just i dont want to go on holiday with them, and especially start university where i know no one with braces. plus if i got em now then went to manchester then i would have to find another dentist.

Any advice guys im a bit torn both ways
 

"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.

You could always look into some veneers. I have no idea what the prices are for them, but if you don't want to deal with braces, its an option.

Truthfully..if i was you i would get the braces....Obviouslly your teeth are hurting your self esteem... I do not think braces will hurt your game either.. I actually find certain girls with braces sexy...

actually forget veneers, they are literally stick on teeth which i do not want. Plus people could notice if i turned up with perfect teeth after seeing them the day before with my normal teeth
 

"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.

There will always be excuses for putting it off. You could compromise by doing it in July after the holiday but before school starts.

Forget veneers, too expensive. Just have your dentist file your 2 front teeth down a bit.

There's some new kind of braces that actually go behind your teeth. So I heard...
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Just go for it. You will be so happy you did.

I was really afraid people would make fun of me when I got braces (I'm 18) but no one did, not even people who I don't get along with.

And don't worry about them being a pain in the azz, they really aren't. If people tell you that braces are, they're exaggerating.

Just remember to get an electric toothbrush and use Listerine after every brushing.
