"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.

I joined that social networking site Myyearbook a few weeks ago and about two weeks ago met this girl through the "match" thing they do on there. We have been talking quite a bit via email and at one point I gave her my number to text or call me sometime in case her computer crashed again like she said it had. She didn't do that though but we kept emailing and then the other night she said, "I'm thinking about getting off this site because there are so many weirdoes that keep trying to talk to me. I still have your number but I'm kind of a wuss so I haven't texted you yet." So I responded and said that she could give me her number and I would text or call her.

That was two days ago and I see that she responded yesterday and gave me her number saying to call her if I was ever bored ha. So I just responded to the email tonight and said I had been really busy with working on my music and just answered some more of her questions, told her I hoped she was having a good week,etc.

How long should I wait to text her? Should I call her? Ask to hang out or what? I'm still kind of getting over a LTR so I am kind of depressed lately but this girl seems really cool and I find her quite attractive.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Why text her? Didn't you have enough of behind the screen conversation with this girl? Call the woman up and set up a date... make it brief. By the way, does this woman live in your city? If not, dont waste your time on her.

is this online match making sh*t real? I've never tried it, so I don't know the slightest about it (I use myspace and facebook sparingly, and most of my "friends" are people I know from high school).

Call her and set something up for the weekend or wait until next week?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
