"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.

"racially charged" party off-campus way back in December. So infringe free speech expression because of the black protected class sacred cow and PCism. OU was allowed to get away with it. Now they're all going gung ho enforcing PC. Without free speech, you have nothing.

Clemson University put the school's Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity on probation for two years after the group held a "Cripmas" party last December that had students dressed like gang members, according to a statement released Monday.


The fraternity's national organization was outraged by the Christmas-themed party that had members wearing blue and red bandanas, colors of the street gangs the Crips and Bloods, throwing up gang hand symbols and wearing T-shirts with images of the late rapper Tupac Shakur.

About two dozen students were suspended and the leaders of the local chapter, whose operations are controlled by alumni advisers, were removed.

"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.

I can't remember but is Clemson a public university? If so, they should sue because I think they'd have a good chance at winning. I would suggest someone akin to my user name.

Clemson is a public university. Sorry, the news story isn't very clear but I think the university only suspended the frat not the students and the frat had suspended the students from the frat previously(?). But the principle is the same. The frat shouldn't have just folded to PC and shouldn't have came down hard on its own members, the local frat chapter at least should resist the university suspending it.
