"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.

I completely agree with you, Handy Andy. Speaking of style, out of all the ex-nerds on this site, couldn't we at least find someone that could give this forum a little flair to stand out from all the other vBulletin forums on the web?

Best style is: short sleeved button down shirt, plain color, not striped or plaid or pockets or any of that bs, unbuttoned, and with a white t-shirt or wife beater underneath. With jeans. It looks like you didn't put much work into the outfit, but it still looks real good and you still dress better than the majority of people.

Reply if you agree with me.
Yeah I agree, I do like that type of style, but who said it was the best?
This forum is getting so bland and not much advice is even being posted, (but thats beside the point)

Im pretty damn sure people here need some help with their style and its a good place to get critiqued, Im still waiting for the admin/mods to give me a reason (a reasonable one) as to why we cant have a style forum? It surely would benefit all of us.

I just wear a nice looking t shirt not one of those crappy ones but the nice ones. Nice jeans. Let me tell you something girls notice jeans. Don't be wearing that crappy 20 dollar pair. Invest some money on jeans trust me it's worth it. Then I have a nice belt and some clean sneakers.

Girls do notice jeans, but I don't think they care about price. They notice nice jeans.

You can walk into any department store and get a normal pair of jeans for $14. You know what I'm talking about. The jeans that are always folded up neatly, sitting in a boxed shelf right next to a poster of a Levi model and are rocking the "50% off" sign.

Then, there's the jeans on the hangers. They look a little nicer, plus they have a 15% off tag hanging from them, so you're still saving!

Then, deep in the jungle of department store clothing in an area that most department store shoppers never venture, there be one rack of "designer jeans". I don't know, that $25 price tag might put you over your budget...

Random fact about the poster: I don't own one pair of jeans that weren't bought from department stores, but I still get compliments on my jeans all the time. I wear what department stores like to call, "designer jeans".

Random fact #2 about the poster: I have only once in my life paid more then $50 on a pair of shoes. I bought a pair of Nikes in the 5th grade. Still, I have been complimented on my shoes. It's really not about the brand. It's more about the style.
