"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.

Don't date a girl who travels

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yeah man, met this cutie on POF a while back, we started chatting. I saw she was 41, no kids and listed herself as wanting kids... ok cool. Then I find out she is an airline stewardess. WTF?! how are you supposed to have kids if you are flying around all the time? These girls are single for a reason.. Anyways, if someone is going to go jetsetting leaving someone else to care for their offspring it's gonna be me!

a girl I dated did travel a few times a year.

And would casually hookup with whomever conveniently sat by her at the hotel bar each evening.

Hmmmmm tough one. I want a kid too, but also want the chick to be able to be independent and support herself. Finding the perfect combination of hotness, responsibility, good mother, and career oriented is BRUTAL.

I'm seeing an HB9 next week. She's fricking amazingly hot and seemingly cool, but she travels about 50% per month due to her job. What do you do? You cant ask her to find another job. If she did give birth, no woman I know would be willing to not see their baby 50% of the time. Crazy.

I do like the idea of her being gone that much when the kid's like 5. I could handle a lot of the load then and REALLY appreciate her when she got back from trips in the sack and taking back some of the kid responsibility.

Hmmmmmm. Adopt in these situations?
 

"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.
