"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.

that time is approaching. The time where I dread having to part with my cash or risk looking like the miser.

Do you buy presents for your plates? If so what do you get them?

Not unless you're trying to move her up to starting pitcher.

Not a chance especially for a plate. I don't even buy my mother a christmas present!

Lol. This. If she's your girlfriend then go ahead.
 

"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.

For my girl...since she was good...

A couple of nice items from banana republic
A nice new coat, and some workout gear.
Baking utensils

She made a mention of an iPad - but I drew the line!

There is no way to tell given so little information between you two.

I think if a present destroyed your chances with her, then you guys are probably not strong to begin with.

You should worry about the larger picture---where are you at with her right now, and what can you do.

Good qxtn.

My plate just asked me what I wanted for Christmas.

She did the same last year, bought me a present and I felt obliged to reciprocate, history trying to repeat itself.

As to what I'll get? Not sure yet. Last year I bought her a MK wallet but I'm feeling stingy this year.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I'll be shopping for small gifts for my plates. I'm generous and they deserve it.

If you do decide to buy a gift, small creative stuff is the way to go. My GF is a Chapstick fiend (nice soft lips for my c0ck) so for her bday I bought a gumball machine and filled it up with mini chapsticks. She d@mn near cried and talked about it for weeks - and I spent less than $75 on it.

Another idea is to buy her something YOU like. Maybe a jersey from your favorite football team. Or a fishing pole (and then take her fishing).
