"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 fellow dj's, i was pondering about what would make a really cool date. You know something out of the ordinary that will make her think "hmm this guys different, its soo cool that he didn't take me out to a dinner and a movie, like all the other guys ive been with" I was thinking along the lines of paintball, or wall climbing, maybe going to a shooting range, comedy club... anything different. Got any cool ideas? 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 will reply to you perhaps more gently than others -- search the archives; I think this has been covered many many times.

And:

Mini golf.
Bowling.
Darts.
Pool.
Brewery tour.
Live music (but not loud -- think Irish bar with acoustic trad music so you can talk).
Cooking class (I don't like this one, but it seems to wow the ladies).
Wine tasting.

Whatever it is, keep it an action date that has a high likelyhood of kino, like Alonso has (not sure about wine tasting, haven't tried that one)

Also:
Swing Dancing Class
Iceskating
Rollerskating
Indoor Rock Climbing
Canoeing
Rafting
Skiing
Sledding

Don't, I repeat, DON'T take her to dinner and a movie.

Movies are for women you are already sleeping with.

Cheers.

I've had some very good movie 1st dates

Depends upon the gal. Several of my movie first dates have been very physical, even to the point of ending up in bed.

If there's a movie that interests you and a gal who's interested in you, go ahead & mention your intention to see the film to her.

BTW, wine tasting looks like a good one. I usually like concerts or just going to an interesting part of town & nosing around.

One of the coolest can be exploring any sort of unusual place, such as some of the ruins of Detroit.

I'd play some tennis and end with a dinner/massage. Tennis = shows my skills...and I can grind her if I'm "teaching" her. Dinner = shows my softer side. And massage...gets those pesky clothes off. :D

And if she falls asleep during the massage:

me: ::shakes her::
her: mm..huh?
me: you fell asleep and you said some wonderful things about me.:D

I took my bird skiing on our second date. It was incredible. You have a lot of fun going down the hill and have a lot of chance to close and touch her lots on the chair lift. I also had her stay over the night before so we could get an early start. Although I was sharing a bed with this bird the first night I met her...

The ski date though was easily the best and most fun date I've ever had. Wowed the hell out of her too.
