"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.

Ok, so ive been talking to this beautiful 9 lately and its been going really well. She's 18 and a freshman in college and im 20 and a sophomore. She is Columbian and seems like one of those sweet girly good girls. Everytime she sees me approach she smiles at me, she smiles and/or laughs throughout our conversations as I keep it light, flirty, and funny and in general seems to enjoy them. Her body language is good as she occasionally plays with her hair, looks down, smiles, and fidgets a bit. The only problem is that after the 4th time we had spoken, she mentioned she had a boyfriend back in Columbia. You know, a long distance sort of deal. Well, it came up casually, its not like she intended for it to mean, "Get away, I have a bf". Anyway, in my biased opinion she is too young to be so damn committed to someone so far away. I think she is amazing and want to proceed with her but dont know how. I figure its dangerous ground, if I come on too strong it could be bad and if I act like a tool for too long I will end up in the friend zone forever. The only reason im sticking around is because I have a gut feeling she is somewhat interested. HELP!
 

"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.

Wow. This is probably the fifth topic I've seen about a LDR girl in the past two days, and that's how long I've been here! The general consensus: Go for it, steal her, you have nothing to lose, just don't focus too much in case it doesn't work.

Read the bible...it will teach you how. I'm surprised you haven't considered it. She is no different from any other girl in the world...so the same thing applies here.

i think if she's mildly interested in you, the boyfriend destroyer pattern would be very effective.
 

"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.
