"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'm a leo and I just looked up my zodiac sign for the first time, I never really gave it that much thought before, but it was kind of eerie as I read the description of my "sign" and just how true it rings out for me - it was almost like reading an auto-biography. What's your guys' take on the zodiac stuff?

Also, I was using this girl's laptop who I've been casually dating and I was typing a query in google and the autofill came up with "scorpio and leo comparability", so this was what got me intrigued about it in the first place. Apparently our relationship was predicted to be intense and passionate, but rocky, which again hit the nail on the head so far.

Anyway, I just got a kick out of this, I'm pulling an all-nighter to finish this paper that I can't get started for college.

I don't put much stock into it. They're just another thing that women love because they think it somehow involves destiny and finding "Mr. Right". Though honestly when I read the other people's zodiacs, I see some of myself in those ones too. They're very general.

To tell the truth I´m a (sometimes too) realistic guy. I don´t believe in anything until I tested it by myself and my test proved it to be true. Maybe because I´m a crazy mathematician. :crazy:

Anyhow, I made a quick zodiac sign compatibility test on my 3 LTRs and on the marriage of my parents (all of them are/were longer than 2 years). I did it on 2 different internet sites for validation – as I told you, I´m a crazy mathematician. :crazy: The compatibility tests were totally right in all 4 cases.

As a mathematician I have to say that high probably the zodiac sign compatibility theory is not a bullsh!t.

The only problem is that it said my current LTR will end up in a bad marriage. I have the same feeling…
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Derren Brown? I know of him, the guy is a total nutcase who with the help of C4 and stupid British people manages to portray himself as a magician.

As for Zodiac signs, I don't pay too much attention to them. My sign has qualities that are true of me and qualities that are not true of me.
