"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.

You should strongly consider pressing the charges and cooperating with your State's Attorney/District Attorney. It will help YOU a lot down the road

It will help the unborn kid, too. It's pretty obvious that any woman who did that to her husband will abuse the child as well. All of this needs to be documented now. It could save the kid's life later down the road.
 

"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.

Press charges on her, not just for her to go to jail ( which she will for a long time if she get's hit with the worst penalty ) but also get full custody of your kid.

Update: she actually had me served with a protection order saying I hit her. And claiming I sent threatening text messages ( all I said was she belonged in jail for what she was doing), and asking for temporary custody of the kid.

This twisted chick even took the shower curtain when she came and got her stuff.
 

"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.

You can still go file one back.

She probably did it so she could get a free attorney. At least in my city, there is a firm that works for free for cases of "abuse" for "poor people" but they don't do divorces. However, if you have an active protection order and are getting divorced, then they will also do your divorce... Many women around here know the trick and aren't afraid to use it. It was done on me. And the firm is a darn good firm who caters to women. I'm really surprised she was able to get one on you.. Ok wait, no I'm not, facts be damned in our justtice system. But yeah, do go and petition for one on her too. If they don't give it to you then go hide in Mexico. Just kidding, don't do that.. This crap is so frustrating.. Stay strong my friend.

Yes, I took out a protection order 1st. She was the one arrested, and I have documented forensic pictures of my injuries.
