"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.

Known this hb7 for a couple years, we were set to date back when met her but I had oneitis back then and only dated one girl at a time lol. Hotter girl in the picture back then. Anyway so I rang her last night, talked for 10 minutes then I said I'd like to take you out Tuesday night. She replied saying that she'd love to hang out but has to ask her ex as they have an agreement that they can accept or deny any potential that comes into their life.

I said I thought you said you were single and she said I it's just out of respect for him. I simply replied with I think you should do what you feel you want to do. I know you want to spend time with me but that's your choice I'll ring you tomorrow night and we'll talk.

Wtf. She's a pretty bird, just want a little cake from her but what an arrangement haha.
 

"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.

Oh my word.

If a girl is asking an ex if it's ok for her to date, it's for one of the following reasons:
1. She wants him to be jealous
2. She wants to rekindle a romance with him and still cares about his opinion

Either way, it means a girl isn't ready to be dating, period because she is still defining herself in terms of what her ex-boyfriend thinks of her, when she should be thinking of herself in her own terms.
