"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.

Hey guys, got a new dilemna here. I made the mistake of nailing a friend of a friend that I'm not attracted to at all. How can I let her down w/out coming across as an azz to our common friends. She lives upstairs from a good friend of mine and they have house parties w/ everyone in the apartment building.

I don't want to come across as the jerk who gets a feeding of poutang and is never heard from again. But I don't want to waste any more time w/ her either.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Tell her straight up that you feel terrible, but you are confused in your life right now and it would be best if you didnt take it any further cause you are not looking for any kind of a relationship with her right now and its better if you came right out at the beginning and said it.
