"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.

I'm seeing these things everywhere I go now a days. I know they can store like a million songs and are light but are they even worth it? Is the sound quality of an iPod worth 200 dollars?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I hated the bigness of original ipods and even mini but when nano came out i just had to get it. Awesome mp3 player... getting an fm transmitter for the car now... no need for cds anymore. I got the 4 gig nano in black.

I bought a 5 GB Dell Pocket DJ because I didn't like how the ipods looked at the time (don't know about the new ones though). The sound on it is great and it doesn't need batteries, just charging. If you love music its definitely worth it to get an mp3 player. It's pretty much a portable jukebox for me.
