"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.

Hello, I've been playing with the idea of moving for awhile, but have made some excuses for not pursuing this sooner. Currently the only thing holding me back is a job at an insurance company and some debt (which is not a whole lot when I think about it.) My interests have been in Computer Animation and Special Effects. The problem is I can't find a job where I live in this field without moving to NY or LA; hence the insurance job.

I've decided to pull up stakes and move out to LA in January. So what are some areas I should check out for living arrangements?
Areas around LA within a 1 or 2 hour commute are also of interest.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

As you probably know, the cost of living in Southern California is pretty high so get a good idea of what you can afford to pay for rent. You may want to go with a roommate situation if you don't have $900 plus a month for a studio/1BR lying around. I'm guessing that you're going to find work in the Hollywood or Burbank area, since that's where many of the major studios are located so you don't want to live too far from that area. Traffic in LA is a mothaf*cka and a 20 mile drive takes over an hour in rush hour traffic.

Burbank is a great place to live - Rent is expensive. Expect to pay around $900 for a studio - $1200 1 bedrm.....

But your over the hill from Hollywood - bars clubs etc.

Look at Burbank - or Glendale which is a little cheaper.

i've been thinking of moving out there too. a couple of my buddies have moved out there and it seems things are looking up.

i hear the cost of living is high, but that's okay. i live in cleveland and supposely the cost of living is low, but everyone i know is broke. i'd rather be broke in l.a. in c-town we pay high for different things such as seasonal appropiate(sp) clothing, drycleaning type of crap (services), insurance (because of weather), and rent isn't all that much lower. a decent place not in the hood is gonna cost ya 700.00-800.00.

I hate Los Angeles. A-hole drivers, run down city, a ton of smog. I'd suggest the San Diego area (I live in North County) or Orange County.

"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.
