"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.

Q: What do you call an emo kid with a girlfriend?
A: Liar

Q: How many emo kids does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None, they'll just sit in the dark and cry
 

"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.

That's why I only listen to classical, and nothing else.
So everything that's not classical is either emo or fvck b1tch sh1t faggot wh0re? I did not know that.

McKindley: Haha! Good ones!

Is Linkin Park emo? I found that while I liked their musical arrangements (for the most part) their lyrics were pretty whiney. All of them about some guy whining about how he's lost his identity because of some b*tchy female.

No. www.fourfa.com
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

LP is nu-metal rap-core... supposedly.

Exactly where I want to be.
Let me share the tale of my now-former roommate, who we will call "Bob."

If there's a universal definition for emo, this kid is it:

Lip ring? Check
Streched earrings? Check
Greasy, straightend hair pulled over 75% of the face at an angle? Check
Tight pants? Check
Small sweaters? Check
Plaid shirts? Check
Scarf? Check
Black shirts? Very check.
Black-frame "emo" glasses? Check
Posters of "punk rock" bands? Very Check
In a band? Check
Going to college to be a music major? Check
Small scope in music taste? Check
Thinks it's the best/only kind of real music? Check

Now, all this aside the guy was still pretty cool. He was really nice and you could sit and have a normal coversation about whatevers on your mind with the guy, but if you so much as mention something like music/government/politics or whatnot, then look out - You just opened the pandoras box of one-sided arguements.

His friends are worse - I overheard one of them say the following:
"I'm so core." <hand through hair> "You suck at life." Things like that I just don't get. How do phrases like that even make it in your head?

But I digress...Linkin Park is gay. Not emo, gay. There's a difference.
