"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.

You pretty much covered it all.

The reason women do this when they are in a relationship is because they are not getting the attention they need from their boyfriend. So in essence by her receiving the attention from other men, she's able to stay in her current, unfulfilling relationship.

I'd like to add that it's impossible to fulfill a woman's every need, insecurity, and hunger; moreover, it's even more impossible to sustain the level of commitment to keep them completely happy. Women are looking for the "Swiss Army Knife" of men, and those men simply don't exist. They will seek out other men to fill in their mysterious voids throughout life.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
