"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.

This is something I'm trying to develop and has been difficult for me to apply. How do you have a constant sense of humor about life, things around you, and other things but not get that over-inflated sense of self-importance that I see so much of in life who have goals in front of them at all times? I'm not sure I know of anyone who is good at both. I'm talking about REAL humor, not witty one-liners (I"m a big opie and anthony fan just to give you an idea of what I find funny). The funnniest people I know are all dumb ****ups and staying in that state is pretty ****ing hard and depressing. But humor is as important to me as sex is.

One common piece of advice I come across would be to emulate someone else you see who has successfully achieved this. While i'm sure if I looked long enough I could always find someone to mimic, at the end of the day I will always come back to being ME. I can only emulate/imitate for so long.

If you know what I'm talking about please advise...
 

"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.

The thing about a sense of humor is this, not everyone finds every funny guy funny. I love sienfield, my buddy thinks he's just a whiney jew. He loves Andrew Dice Clay. I think he's a moron. Humor like beauty can be highly subjective to the parties involved. I have friends who think I'm the funniest guy ever and others who think I'm a bit off for telling the same joke.
