"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.

"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.

Alright, as a recovering "clown" there are a few tips i may have for you that may be of use. First, just be yourself. Alot of guys try to act funny and be a clown just for attention. Well, you don't really need to go out looking for that attention, just let it come to you. If a girl is interested she will talk to you. Another thing is people's opinions on you don't change over night. Try to rebuild relationships with those certain people and let them know who you really are. Personally, the clown persona isn't all negative. Some girls are really attracted to that type of personality, but others (which is the majority) just think you and your group of friends are immature. It takes time man, and you just might out grow it.

Mix in some serious conversations when the topic goes that way. Watch the news, read, get some opinions.

If you clown around all the time, you will be seen that way, if you show there is more under the surface then the world is your oyster.
