"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.

This chick has flaked on me... TWICE. Tell me not to give a shvt.

I'm ticked. No call or text. Nothing.

I know I shouldn't care but I do. Stupid ego.

Mehr. I'm getting the impression she's not all there anyway. Claimed she called yesterday. Total BS. Gas lighting anyone?

Mehr. Going to a party anyway. Glad I had a backup plan.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Id likely text her "when you disrespect my time, you disrespect me, you rude cvnt. Good thing Im smart enough to make backup plans xD. Smell ya later." Then Id delete her number and enjoy my night.

If a woman at least texts or calls me to bail, Ill giggle at them and say "no sweat babe. Nice knowing ya". This way she knows I dont appreciate it and that Im fine with not speaking to her anymore. But when a girl does a no-call-no-show, I feel a lashing out is justified for such disrespect.

I feel your pain. I had a no call no show last week. This wasn't a first date either. We've already been on two dates. I didn't bother texting or calling her to ask what happened. I just moved on to other plates.

Smart move. Ya gotta. Ah well. Had a good night with a hottie this week anyway.

Easy to be zen when you've got em lined up.

Need to learn to be a DJ when I have NOTHING in the pipeline...
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

How come you let her do that to you twice? Next her after the first flake.
