"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.

Hey guys. Need some song ideas that are good for slow-dancing to.

Something along the lines of "your beautiful"- James Blunt.

thx
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

ACTUALLY I used this as an opener for awhile. "Hey, quick question: what do you think was the best 7th grade slow dance song?" Talk about the awkwardness of 7th grade romance and awful lyrics and desperate young love, etc. It's universally applicable to any girl who was in 7th grade in the past 10-12 years, plus you can get some of the more common ones and make a playlist on your iPod - girls always go crazy for my "7th Grade Slow Dance" playlist.

Incidentally, 70 or so girls have told me that "Back At One" by Brian McKnight was the best slow dance song ever. I personally like "Steppin' Out (Late Night Alumni Slow Dance)" by Kaskade.

Ok, go to www.cdnow.com and then search love songs under cd's. That should give you some good ideas. Any slow love songs are good for slow dancing.
 

"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.

In my country during the whole 7th-8th grade slow dance mania, Metallica's Nothing Else Matters was king, and of course most of the Scorpions slow ballads were pretty good. I like You and I from Scorpions but be ware it's like a song that a couple would dance as their first dance on their wedding.
