"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 Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Trump has you guys triggered like none other.
The great part is, a lot of people are seeing the stupidity in his (and your) views, and it's probably pushing more people towards Trump. I suspect he'll win the 2020 election by a bigger margin. I know, I know, Nate Silver, STATS!!, DAAADDDD!!!, etc.
In addition, it's really killed a lot of people's dependence on pop culture and the mainstream media. Can only be a good thing. Enjoy your Eminem video, LOL.
Oh, and by the way:
That's your problem right there. Your faction is too big into the FEELZZZZ. hahaha

"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.
Perhaps of cellblock trustee but not of any election in MY country.

Not sure if you're joking, but I think that one of the reasons that the sports media is so heavily in favor of NFL players sitting/kneeling/protesting during the national anthem, is because they have to work closely with black colleagues. They also hope to interview top athletes, many of whom are black. So they don't want the conflict, and want to appear sympathetic to their causes. I think it's a lot like the OJ case. If you are white, you are more likely to think he was guilty. If you are black, you are more likely to think he was not guilty.
I really respect the very few white reporters who dislike protesting during the anthem, and are willing to openly state their opinion.
I saw some of Eminem's rap, and he said something like we love our military, we love our country. But when Colin Kaepernick started the protests, he made clear that he could not respect the flag of a country that oppressed his people. Basically the protesters are saying they can't respect the country (because it oppresses people of color). If they can't respect the country, I don't see how they can respect the military that serves that country.

- Questioning why inflation continues to destroy our purchasing power?
- Questioning why our jobs have been shipped overseas?
- Questioning why cost of living continues to go up?
- Questioning why there aren't as many well paying jobs today like before?
- Questioning why the Police State is out of control?
I can go on and on....but these are problems that were created, are managed, and are maintained by BOTH major parties (Democrats and Republicans). Our true enemy is Government Corruption, Big Business Corruption, and Media Mass Manipulation.
A guy wearing a red Trump hat is not your damn problem. Neither is a guy wearing a "Hillary" t-shirt. But they want to keep us arguing back and forth with each other to distract us from the real issues.
And without question, the entire NFL players kneeling situation is just another ploy to BOOST ratings, keep us arguing with each other, and distract us from the REAL enemies we ought to be going against. Because God forbid, if Americans woke up to who the real groups of people are that are screwing them (again, that's Big Government Corruption via Democrats/Republicans and Big Business Corruption) then we would all take down those powers that be in a quickness. So they have to keep us PROGRAMMED to think the enemy is someone else, the enemy is our neighbor, etc.
It's quite disgusting if you ask me.
