"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.

Well guys in between football practice I was bored one day and was looking through my DVD's. And I came across it...Futurama. I was thinking "man I havn't seen this in a LONG time!" So I popped it in and I forgot how funny this was! It's just the most creative show I've ever seen. 'Comon guys if you havn't seen Futurama, it's better than the Simpsons and we should bring it back.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I enjoy watching it, and there are some funny instances, but all in all, I don't find it to be that funny. A lot of the jokes are way too obvious and just aren't very funny. There's a lot of "Hehe, that was clever" jokes, but very few laugh-out-loud ones like in the Simpsons and Family Guy. The Simpsons and Family Guy are great because they have the perfect mix of subtle jokes that only certain people will get, and just great dumb jokes that everyone will get and love.

i know what you mean by its not laugh out loud funny. but i just REALLY like the stories they have, i find it interesting. I just think that it's really creative. It doesn't really need to make me laugh for me to enjoy it. You know, I'll watch it and think "heh thats funny."

"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.
