"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 Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

haha very nice. i like the layout, but there's a few too many pics of you and your car... try limiting it down to 2 or 3 good ones.
Stephen King is practically my neighbor...his house is very cool. Huge red Victorian with a black wrought iron fence around it...with bats. He's very connected to the community...has a radio station here, built a park...gave the town the "BAT Bus"...a cool looking red public bus line with a HUGE black bat across it. I see him around town all the time...and he LOVES Quiznos Subs.
I noticed you like him a lot so thought I'd share that.

"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.

I'd change the music man....it offends my ears!!
Apart from that, cool, especially the car!! Where I'm from its just inconceivable to have a car like that at 19.

I'd change the color of the text or the background behind the text, you have such little contrast it makes it hard to read.

I love Stephen King. Right now I'm on the 5th Dark Tower series book and reading Insomnia. I finished Salems Lot a few months ago and thought that was excellent. But thats so cool he sounds like a good guy.
Dude you are worrying about your myspace too much. Mines simple and sweet. You don't need to over dramatize the thing. I have pictures of me at parties or something not me next to my car and my arms folded. Not trying to sound like a ****.
