"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, i happened to be in the neighborhood of 1 of my ex's who i had'nt seen in like half a year but we still talked sumtimes. i had heard taht she got a new bf but i wasnt really thinkin about that. so i call her up and ask her if she wanted 2 hang out. i go 2 her place and we watch a movie, and bfore long we're cuddling and stuff. but then when i started kissing her, she started crying and sed she 'can't.' so then i jus sat there till she stopped then i sed 'i better go' and i left. as i left i gave her a hug and she started crying again. later that night i felt guilty, so i called and sed 'sorry.' i wasn't trying to get her 2 like me, i just wanted 2 have a hook up. i don't want her 2 think i'm still into her. i'm also afraid she mite tell our mutual friends and stuff. is there anything i can/should do? or should i just 4get all this crap

"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.

See how it goes the next time you meet her, if she is all friendly to you again, then don't worry about it, but if she seems different just talk to her.

don't worry about it too much for now.

hey Wuzzup i cant blame you, im betting you didn't even know what you were "sewing" as likeretsam seems to think, im betting you didn't even think you were doing any harm, and she should've told you straight away if she didn't want to get back with you, how did you exactly brake up?, if it wasnt actually a bad brake up then maybe she was cheating on somebody which you dont know about, i think she owes you an explanation, she is making you feel bad and you dont know why
 

"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.

Einstein once said in french:

Il ne faut jamais faire quelquechose contre sa conscience meme si l'etat le demande

It means:

Never do something against your conscience even if your environment asks it of you.

It means he knew she had a boyfriend but he was so desperate to get a hook up (which prolly sucked because of how it ended) that he went for it and now he regrets. There is no HER fault in this. He tried to make her betray her boyfriend and he failed. He made her life so much harder cause she may prefer this guy to her boyfriend. In the end, it's HIS fault and he should just assume responsibility for what's going to happen instead of trying to rectify the past.
