"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.

I recall seeing a topic or an article about reliable ebay retailers for cologne, but in any event, i can't find it.

I am interested in purchasing some colognes off ebay as prices are much lower. My only problem is that i don't know which sellers are trustworthy. Even some with 100% satisfaction might sell diluted cologne to buyers who are none the wiser.

Thanks.
 

"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.

I don't have any sellers to point to, but every time I have bought cologne (mostly Acqua di Gio) it's turned out well - the scents were authentic, and the bottles were full.
The only thing to watch out for are badly photographed or written auctions that aren't clear about whether the items are mini bottles or full-size. They occasionally make decimal place errors that are a tad misleading.

Even if you get screwed I think ebay will refund your money and go after the seller. I've been using ebay forever and I think only once had a bad incident and ebay gave me a refund immediately.
