"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.

Hey all, havent been here in awhile, good to be back:D

I noticed that i have these odd bulges, one on forearm, top of arm, and two on my upper leg(outer thigh). They feel almost like something hard under the skin. Also they are all on the left side of my body.

The one on my upper arm hurts when pushed on, and has a purple vein thats pretty visible.. the other ones dont hurt. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this kind of thing.

I know, i know.. see a doctor.. i cant at the moment so any help is appreciated. I was thinking it may be thyroid or even cancer(hope not:( ).

Thanks~
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Personally I think, big bump=something bad.. really bad. Could be cancer or something. Go see a docter, I seriously don't know so that's my only advice. Big bump=very dangerously bad.

Sounds like vericos veins to me, my father had them on his leg. I'm pretty sure surgery is the only long term solution for vericos.

Hmm. well these are deeper than veins.. and just round.. kinda feels like a hard nipple..lol.. thats the best example.. its just something hard and squishy.. under skin, no real discolor except the one that hurts has a small purplish vein visible..

Any other thoughts?

go see a doctor already

forum members know only so much (myself included :) )
 

"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.
