"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.

Okay, so the girl I've been hooking up with now for about 5 weeks slept over last night...We wake up this morning and start talking about today/tonight and considering its my roomate/ one of my best friend's birthdays I assumed she was just going to come over for his party (They're good friends also). She, however, says something like this:

Her:"Yea I like to go to the city tonight (its an hour away) with my sorority and go out there"

Me: "Wow that really sucks, how could you miss his birthday party?!" So wait, you guys are just going by yourselfs?"

Her: "Nahhhh actually were supposed to ask someone..."

Then it was followed by an awkward silence and I just say something along the lines of yea its definitely going to be a good time yada yada (completely dodged the question)

Now my thing is what do I do here? She was clearly hinting at me going with her (which I would love to do), but I completely dodged the question and it is also one of my good friends birthdays. What should I do? I want her to ask me because I REALLLLLY want to go, but with how I diffused the situation before I don't see that happening...should i bring it up to her again? What should I do?
 

"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.

The way you played this, you should go to your mate's birthday, especially if he's as good a friend as you say. Having said "how could you miss his b'day party," it would look odd if you suddenly decided to do the same. This sounds to me like some sort of sh*t test on her behalf- will you be a man and stick to what you initially implied you would do, or does she have the power over you to make you choose her over one of your best friends?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
