What the ****
"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.
Ghosts are real?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

So Ghosts.
This summer I was driving with my GF past this one car crash sight. It was marked by flowers on the side of the road, a man died there, and that man was a family member of my neighbors. So as I drove I saw a man standing there, but only with the corner of my eye. For all purposes it could have just been a drunk guy coming out of the woods after taking a piss. Except that I didn't see anyone as I was driving, just saw him in the corner of my eye as I was right beside the car crush sight.
What could it be?
Two weeks later my neighbor and I got into argument. He is elderly, and in bad health because of cancer that he lived through. Basically, I think the ghost warned me.
Are the ghosts real? I don't know. Are we real? I don't know.
Perhaps the ghosts phenomenon is our brain's hidden abilities to see and sense events of the future.
But what I do know for sure, is when you see ghosts they are trying to forewarn you of something, not to scare you, or eat you. If you don't believe in ghosts, that's fine, just think of it as your brain trying to tell you something.

My wife thinks so, especially since she watches it in her Japanese Cartoons. I decided to show her what 'real scary' ghosts look like so I got Poltergeist and Ghostbusters... I was just joking around, now she won't stay in the house by herself at night.
Jokes on me.
Jokes on me.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
