"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.

"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.

Depends...what'd they pin you on exactly? Careless driving could mean a multitude of things.

First of all, fighting tickets is always a good idea if you have either a reasonable defense or a reason to believe that the judge will pardon you for having a clean history or clear your record for going to traffic school.

Second of all, in the state I live in moving violations cannot be given on private property, such as a business parking lot. I discovered this after getting a seatbelt ticket while in a wal-mart parking lot, and it got dismissed because I was on private property and therefore not subject to traffic laws.

"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.

You shouldn't have any problem speaking to the DA before you go in to the courtroom and having it bumped down to a non-moving violation, which won't increase your insurance rates. 9 times out of 10 they'll cut a break for a first offender, unless the cop wrote "ND" on the top of your ticket (which means "NO DEAL").

Best bet is to dress up in at least slacks and a button down - at most a suit and tie (preferred) and apologize for the whole fiasco.

Kinda reminds me of the time I went to court for a speeding ticket and the judge asked who I was defending.
