"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.

Getting older women to look past the age gap?

Well to start, I'm 24, and have had some great looking women who are a between 5 and 10 years older, throw themselves at me until they ask me how old I am. Then then unwrap their arms from around me and say "Is that it?". What's a good thing to say to them when they back down? At that point I'm at a loss for words, and usually just sit their thinking "daaaaamn". And what if they say "Well do you know how old I am?"
 

"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.

I let older girls know how old I am all the time. Usually they're okay with it but if they get that "you're a young'n" and they were into you before then you can usually just say "what about it?" or something to make it seem like its no big deal.

If you're forward about it and make it seem normal for you and seem comfortable with the situation they'll usually forget all about your age or in some cases start thinking about what they can do with/to you. At least that's how it works for me, your situation may not be as easy to solve as that...who knows, i'd give it a try. The bulk of it is the image you put across them and if you can remain unshaken then there's a chance they won't get bent out of shape.

Keep your cool.

I stick with teasing older girls about their age, calling them anything from "grandma" to "senile"... keep things light, don't let it get too serious and you should be fine.
