"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 met this 70 year old HB 9.5 on OLD
she is a swimming coach, I was talking to her today for 3 hours. she told me about her life and how much she hates everyone. When I told her I don't know how to swim, she said "that's so cute" and she could teach me.

is that an IOI? does it mean she is attracted to me?
How do I swim? do I put my left foot in first or right foot first? what if the water is cold?
How do I float? since our bodies are more dense than water, I would sink, no?
How do I keep my head above the water so I don't drown?

Update: she just blocked me because she realized I was Googling her name. How do I "turn this around" and make her attracted to me?
 

"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.

"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.

If she's over 70 you're going to be holding your breath for a lot more than swimming
