"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.

Met a chick online recently. We've been chatting a little bit here and there. At least every 3 days. She's interested in meeting and so am I, but between her schedule and mine it's gonna be a week or more from now till we can get together. My question is do I keep up the chatting until we can meet up or just drop off until I can set up a date?

Also, how's a good way to get her to send a full body pic without her thinking her size is a concern. All her pics are selfies and I suspect she's a little bit bigger girl, which to some extent is ok with me.
 

"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.

Why did you respond to an ad with nothing but selfies?

They aren't all selfies. It's just hard to see what she really looks like in most. I have an idea but its not 100% until I see her in person.

What's wrong with saying it's a little hard to tell how you look from your pics, would you mind sending better ones? If she's insulted and stops talking to you oh well, she was just some online chick anyway.

I don't see what's so bad about not wanting to waste your time. As long as you phrase everything respectfully and confidently then it's fine.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Why did you respond to an ad where it's hard to see what kind of a body the chick has?

I have a feeling anything I say will be used against me here. Lol. But anyway, I would have to say she is very pretty and we have the same type of humor.
