"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 in love with my computer right now. It's lasted me 5 years. I built it over the years with bits and pieces I picked out of the trash or peoples lawns. In fact, we're celebrating our 5th anniversary in a few weeks.
Haha. Good one.

I know what you mean. I still have the first computer that I ever assembled. I figure that using the Slot 1 architecture is part of its personality, so in that PC I'm not going to ever put a motherboard in there that isn't Slot 1. I remember the awesome feeling when I made it work on June 1st, 1998. In a few years it'll be hopelessly obsolete (like the 386), but I don't think I'm ever going to get rid of it.

Of course, I have other computers so it's no longer my primary system (My primary is based off of the Socket 940 Opteron architecture.).

I even still have the Win NT 4.0 disk I used with the first system I built (Hey, it was 1998. Nothing better was available.).

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
