"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,

There's an aftermath of my situation that I'll tell later. Today I want to share a problem my friend has. He asked me for advice, and I told I would talk to some guys to have some insight.

Well... hello, guys.

Here's the thing. He's married for 12 years now, no kids, and a happy relationship for what I could tell. The problem his wife have an younger (15 yo.) brother that causes a lot o problems. A couple of days ago he got into a fight in school and the attackers said they would kill him, even tracking him to his house where he lives with his parents. They're lower class, and his mother have to work a lot, barely staying at home. Same for the father.

So, to help him, she took the kid to live with them for 6 months so he could finish school. Problem is, he's not happy about it - not only because that would ruin the fun of having someone strange in his home, but because he's afraid of what kind of problems this kid could cause. The kid is the kind that likes to pose all gangsta, but when a serious fight comes he would put his tail between his legs and run like a scared mouse.

What would you do in this situation?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Didn't he have a say in this from the begining?! If his wife didn't ask him if she could do this then I see this as the bigger problem.

For what he told me, he talked about it - even having a fight with his wife - but took it back and allowed him in.
