"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.

If I ever have relationship questions, this is one of the first places I come for advice.

My girlfriend and I have been dating for nearly 11 months (Not long I know, but it seems like forever) We are both in theatre so we spend everyday together and we have nearly all of the same courses. Lately she has been showing signs of extreme jealousy and I feel like I can't even talk to a girl without her giving me a hard time or that she thinks that the girl might think I am flirting. I kinda feel like I miss being single and I don't know what to do.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I've always said that if you think you'd be happier out of a relationship, GET OUT.

If the only reason you're staying in this relationship is to avoid hurting her feelings, that is not a good reason.

Girls are naturally jealous, especially if you talk to many women. There's really nothing you can do about this, besides laying down the law. Even then, girls will be girls.

Jealousy isn't a great reason to end a relationship, as if your girl is jealous, that is a good thing. If she didn't care, that's when you need to start worrying. However, if it is overboard jealousy, sometimes that is enough to make the relationship unenjoyable.

So I come back to my first point; If you believe you'd be happier single, then just do it. You're young and you should be out meeting other women anyways.

1st gfs never usually work out. Plus you are only 20 years old. If I could turn back the clocks, I think I'd be single in my early 20 unless I found a truly KNOCKOUT girl who was great in every way.

This girl truly isn't for you.
