"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.

alright ive been having a problem lately. ive been getting tons of mixed signals from my friends sister she being 16 me 17. For the past two weeks ive felt like shes been giving me signals hinting that she is interested in me. So for example

Im like im going to the movies on saturday with some friends wana come shes like shure ill call you. comes to saturady no call i call her she makes up same lame excuse. Saying she couldnt find my cell phone number and i said ask your brother she said i didnt want to bother him. So im like whatever. Then next week she calls me up and asks me if i want to go to the mall with her. I'm wondering whats going on here.

she ussaly seems like she is interested in me , but sometimes shes like the total oposite person. im not shure if shes trying to just blow me off or is trying to get me more interested

Also her mom is friends with my mom and she always says that im so good i looking and how great it would be if we went out.

But there is a thin margine of error here because if i ask her out i might mess up my friendship and im getting mixed signals like above.



so to summarize my problems
1) whats up with the mixed signals
2) how to get around the whole datting your friends sister
 

"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.

It's not even that, it's that it will be awkward between you and your friend and he'll be involved even if he doesn't want to be, and if something goes bad it will most likely hurt your friendship.

It's really just not worth it.

ya i understand it can cause more problems than it would be worth
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
