"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.

I met a girl last week. We hung out sunday afternoon but only for like 30 minutes bc we both had to be somewhere. All we did was eat frozen yogurt and talk. It seemed to go well. We have been texting since. I asked her what her plans were for the week and all she has is work tomorrow night. So what should I ask her to do? I guess this is still kind of a first date since the other one was so short. I live in a small town. All we have is movies, bowling, golf, eating and thats about it. Unless I try to take her up on a picnic or something. I know I could ask her to come hang out with me and my friends but honestly they drink and cuss way too much and she is a big christian girl so that's out.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Drinking (without your friends) would be the best choice. Even if it were just a glass or two of wine.

Golf or bowling can be fun. But I normally save events like that for girls I've already had sex with. It's hard to talk to a woman in between rolling a bowling ball. So, those dates are best after you've gotten to know the girl, and you dont want to hear her yapping all night.

Dinner or movies would be the worst choices. Dinner just puts you to sleep, and movies just keep you silent.

I like the ideas..only problem is she's 19 haha. We had talked about a restaurant and specialty shop that we wanted to show each other. The only thing is it is about an hour out of town. Is it too soon to ask about doing that?
