"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'd like some feedback on my style...

umm, no, to all of them....
and whats up with the shoes? they look like your wearing tissue boxes on your feet. can you even close the blazer's buttons from the first pic? lets put it this way, you have your own personal style, but your not "in style".
 

"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.

your too wide to wear small blazers and jackets like that, so it just makes you appear even wider.

Dude, you're 18 and you dress like my dad.

The clothes look alright, maybe a bit too big or too small depending on the picture... but, well... you dress like my dad.

Yeah remote, they *do* get intimidated when you look hotter, but that only works out better for the guy, right?

ChrizZ, the THIRD one was excellent.

For an 18 year old you sorta come off as a poser. It looks like you wear your pants really high, and that automatically gives an uptight feel. Your pants look like they are way too long for you because of that (and because of the bunching up at the feet). Plus, from the way you are standing, it appears you try a little too hard.

I remember you saying that you hated the jeans and blazer look. Why? Maybe with the right shoes and belt you could pull that look off.
 

"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.
