"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Is this normal or abnormal. I came into college with a thick head of black healthy hair.

I'm in my senior year and literally have 10-15 grey hairs in my head. I cut them out so they're not at all noticeable. Could this be due to stress?

I'll admit i've been highly stressed during certain points in college. Right now being one of them in regards to all the homework and studying i have to do this weekend.

It's just that I never thought i was SO stressed that my hair would start turning gray. It's kind of a bummer. Anybody else experiencing this or have experienced this?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I have a ****-ton of gray. Probably to do with stress as I have more then my father in his late 40's.

Doesn't really bother me though, looks kind of nice

Threads like this that makes me glad that my dad is in his mid-fifties and hair is as black as ever.

Just curious, you try plucking the 10-15 grey hairs you have? Is that better than just cutting it?

"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 think stress can help trigger it but it's all in your genetics.

I bet whomever you get your hair from will of went bald / gray around the same time. I get my hair from my dad. He's 50, still not balding and started getting gray hairs at about 48, luckily for me.

yea i tend to agree. my mom is in her mid 50's and if she didn't dye her hair she'd have a full head of white hair. She told me she started graying late 20's early 30's.

It has to be stress. College gets overwhelming sometimes. fvck...

That's no guarantee. My mom and dad had their first grey hairs at 40+ y/o. My mom discovered my first grey hair when I was 17 y/o. I think it's due to my perfectionistic tendencies.
 

"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.

If you looked at my Dad's hair then at mine you would agree it was true with me at least, lol.
