"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.

Dude, you are 22, and please tell me you are mentally 22 also...cuz what in the world does a 16-year-old girl possibly have to offer you that other girls your age can't?
THERE ARE NO GIRLS MY AGE AROUND. PERIOD

Seriously man, I live in a retirement area...average age of a the nearest city is 49.
 

"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.

This is ridiculous. You wanted us to tell you what you wanted to her. You tried rationalizing it, you still are, by telling us about how mature she is, how your grandparents did it, etc. etc. You don't even answer when asked what the legal age of consent is where you live.

Stop the bull and get working on someone your age. At least someone 18 years old.

sadly, a 16 year old girl is just too old for you socially. If I could change the law for guys like you, I would. There is no danger to a 16 year old girl if she dates a guy that is her social inferior. If you actually date her, we'll see another thread 6 months from now about you crying the blues cause she dumped you.

Leave her alone and concentrate on the local elementary girls. :rolleyes:

This is sick, just sick!!

Go after 17 year olds - always shoot for the legal minimum!!! The closer you are to the legal minimum, the more the world will envy you - this is every man's objective!!!

I'm with you Moofasah!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

dude, you can't come here, ask for advice, and then try to justify why you are doing it when we don't agree.

if you wanted a confirmation, you should do what you want to do anyway.


1) it's illegal
2)itls illegal
3) shes too immature, and you can't possibly have the same interest.. me now (24) and me (16) couldn't live under the same roof

Nah I just turned 22

I would love to move, but I made 55,000 last year working an average of 42 hours a week...all under the table with no taxes :D

I agree, it was stupid of me to consider it. But I guess I'll just have to switch up my school schedule next semester to find someone my age.

A 22 year old is making $70,000 gross - pretty damn good!! Stay where you are and buy some hos if need be!!! My goal is to marry the legal minimum age where I reside - I'm 45! This is a worthy goal!!!

As ye shall be banned from further use of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! points.:moon:
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

From what I've learned with girls is that they're still growing up at that age. I've been friends with a couple girls through family for over 5 yrs. now and they're just now 19 & 17 and I'm 25. They're like sisters to me by now, but I will admit it has gotten tough over the past year. Girls really change right around the 18/19 yr range. I would never advise anyone to pursue a 16 yr old now. Hold off and if its meant to be then you'll have an opportunity, but don't dive in now.
