"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.

Where do you guys think Lebron is going to end up?


Rank Team Cap Space
1. Knicks $34,528,223
2. Bulls $29,933,796
3. Nets $28,634,603
4. Heat $27,365,632
5. Clippers $16,155,311


I strongly predict he will go to Chicago.
 

"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.

Chicago doesn't have the pieces in place to be an immediate title contender even if they get james. The only real draw is that its chicago. But if he realy just wants to be an attention hoar he would either go to LA or NY as they are bigger markets.

I think from a marketing standpoint he already has the midwest on lock. If he wants to win a title and not care how, he will go to miami and join up with wade and bosh. To build a team himself? He'll stay in cleveland.

he has been trying to build a team himself for like 7 years in cleveland. chicago is the leader probably followed by the cavs. no way will he go to NY i guarantee it...

im going with the Nets. i see something happening there like what happened with the C's a few years back. instant powerhouse. lebron wants to take over the world and Jay-Z and that russian billionaire are the ones to help him do it..
