"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.

She asked me if i liked this other girl who were both friendly with. I don't and i really do only like my girlfriend..i told her that i didnt like the girl and she was the one i liked but idk if she really believed me based on her somewhat sarcastic responce.

Do i get her to believe me and bring it up? Or do i leave it alone? OR..do i somehow use this towards my advantage in the relationship?
 

"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.

Leave it. Bringing it up will only result in a pissy fight.

It's quite natural to fancy other girls when you are in a relationship. Whats important is that you don't act on it.

Explain and get her to accept this fact if it comes up, if not, leave it alone.

The phrase "bunny boiler" comes to mind with your girlfriend here - shes getting clingy and insecure. You have been warned...

I would imply that I've been seeing this other girl in a more intimate way. I would say this in a playful way so she wouldn't know if I was serious or not. She would then get jealous and want you even more. I do this all the time to my gf. It works more me. Let me know if it works for you.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
