"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.

Wow. For the last 2 months or so, I have had a goal. A promise, rather. To improve my grades.

Guess ****ing what? I did it. It really makes me happy that I finally got my head out of my ass and did something about my schoolwork. And guess what? It wasnt that hard, to be honest. All it took is an extra hour or more each day of doing my homework and 15 minutes of reading over my notes.

One thing bothers me: WHY DIDNT I DO THIS BEFORE? WHY DID IT TAKE ME A YEAR AND A HALF TO FINALLY GET MY **** TOGETHER AND DO THE DAMN WORK?

Oh well. Better now than never. I truly feel like Ive accomplished something important.

That is all.
 

"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.

Why did you have to retake Chemistry if you got a D in it? Last time I checked a D is passing.
 

"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.

Got an A in honors chem and A in AP chem. 5 on AP test. I own you all. Don't hate what you don't excel in. Defeat it. I used to suck at science.

Anyhow, Kidd congrats on your accomplishment, but would you mind going a little bit into more detail as to how you improved so much in your studies? How you controlled yourself? What you thought about? How you kept away from games and the forum? How you didn't let distractions get to you? Stuff like that you konw. Thanks in advance, and once again great job.

Mind over matter. At first, it was really hard to just sit down and do homework for an hour. I had to keep the comp and music off to concentrate, and I put my guitar to a different room so I couldnt get distracted. A part of me just wanted to quit it and go tell my parents I was done, but the other part did not want any more of this weakness in me. So I just had to sit through and get the **** done.

After 2 weeks of doing that, it became easier and easier to work and to study. I now didnt have to force myself as hard to work, it became easier. So the process continued, and I saw a huge improvement not only in my grades, but also in the way my teachers started treating me.
 

"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.

Withdrawl, means you opt out of a class. It doesn't go on your transcript but you can only do it like 3 times.

Kidd: Fuggin awesome dude. As long as I know it was hard for you, yet you still pulled through there is hope. From now on, I will put the computer and music in another room when I do my work. My guitar is downstairs, so I don't really gotta worry about that. It's mainly the computer. damn...

This is really motivational dude. Keepit up and I'll let you know if I can achieve the same satisfaction you did.

Vincent: thanks for the information. I'm still in HS, but that's very interesting....withdrawal....
