"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.

First question is me and my girl got into a big fight over nothing. We were both hammered but anyhow it was pretty big fight. I have to "make it up" to her and im not sure if i should

1. take her to a nice restaurant (boring) and get flowers and stuff.
2. do the usual and go out to a party or club and just be extra nice. I would apologize to her when i picked her up
3. coffee and apologize kinda deal
4. your suggestion.

If it helps at all...were in college and she likes me a lot, and im into her a lot too. Normally we dont do dates, but i have taken her out on a "real date" and not a college date.


second question is kinda general...anyone have tips on how not to get crazy angry when drinking. It seems like every fifth time when drinking i get mad at something stupid. I know the cookie cutter answers...dont drink, take a deep breath, but im thinking someone might have an outside the box answer like dont drink liquor, stick to beer. THats not the answer as ive tried that. I know other young guys have this problem, you see it all the time. So either if you found a good way to deal with it, or if your an older guy and solved it please tell.


thanks for the future replies. i appreciate it.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

If you both got into a big fight, why do YOU feel like you're the one who has to apologize? We need more details.

Yeah, it'd be good to know more about the argument. Dont fall into the trap many guys do of grovelling at her knees when you have an argument, just to hurry up the peace making. If it was one of those stupid arguments where you are both to blame (has happened to me when drunk), you should both be big enough to apologise and sort it out.

About the aggression...I get it sometimes as well. That's one of the effects of alcohol for some people.. The answer really is don't drink as much (though I never stick to that :p)
 

"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.
