"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.

Unfortunetly some people have nothing better to do than flame posts, I try to give negative comments with good intentions, and good advice on how to defuse a situation, or develope a good one. Or vise versa.

"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.

Cmon guys. Why does everyone have to be so harsh and negative around here? This is a beautiful young women and she's payin attention to HIM. We can't stand in the way of destiny, after all this women makes him dream that he is a man, you don't want to take that away do you?
:flowers: Oh yes MacAvoy! You're right, we're all wrong. He should sweep her off her feet and marry her right away! Have kids! Lots of chubby smiling babies! He should buy a house with a white picket fence, a dog named Rex and a cat named Pixie! How about a bright red minivan with "Love Conquers All" painted on the side!

Okay, all sacrasm aside, he really shouldn't be thinking about marrying this girl for several years. He shouldn't be going on about "there's no one else like her". Divorce rates are around 50-60% in the US. A "starter marriage" is becoming acceptable. And destiny is a way of saying "I have no control over my life". We aren't trying to be harsh, we're trying to be realistic, hoping to make him open his eyes and take off those pretty rose colored glasses.
