"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.

How do you motivate yourself to do the right thing?

I'm beginning to hate myself.

Up until recently I was a major player. I went from one meaningless hook up to another, which in college* is not the best thing to do, as pretty much everyone knows eachother. Recently I decided to turn over a new leaf, and found myself a girl I really like, and am getting into a relationship with her. It's nice.

But I'm finding it hard to stick by that. Everywhere I go, every single girl comes on to me, some even fall in love with me like fairytale princesses. It's so annoying, because I'm trying to turn over a new leaf, but these girls aren't making it easy for me!

So, how do you do it? How do you motivate yourself into saying no and not kicking yourself for it the next day, no matter how much you know it was the right thing to do? How do you get over it when the fittest girl sighs like a 12-year old when you walk past, leering over you like Bella to Edward, and you know you cannot act on it?

All advice welcome. Thanks.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Hi mate.

Yeah i know what you mean by wanting a meaningful, you may get a bit AFC what might loose some interest.
It's really down to whether you just want a long lasting. Then you would have to go with her. I know right now I want just fun, with multiple girls, because i'm living my life, but there may be times and when im in my late 20s to have a much more solid relationship.
Find out what you want the most and do that, the right thing is your thing. If that hurts your gf feelings i would simply say " i don't want to cheat on you, i don't no commiments and that's how i'm going to be happiest for now"

Sorry if im not much help, thought i try lol

"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.

Who says you are doing the wrong thing? Listen to your body, it's obviously screaming out for you to hook up with as many girls as possible, which will make you happy. Don't tie yourself down to one girl, especially when you are so young. Leave the LTRs for when you get older. Just do casual dating with lots of different girls.
