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.
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.

Her 17 y/o daughter is knocked up. This election can't possibly get any more entertaining!
Now it'll be funny as hell watching her talk about moral and family values and the benefits of abstinence-only sex ed.
:crackup:
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.
Its even more funnier then D1ck Cheney's lesbian daughter.Levex said:Her 17 y/o daughter is knocked up. This election can't possibly get any more entertaining!

I think part of the danger of having a former beauty queen as your vice president is the fact that everybody is going to try to dig up some dirt on her from her past, and one thing I know about hot (or former hot) b1tches (she was a model after all) is that in their late teens and early 20's they party their asses off with no worry about the future. A sex tape or a picture of her snorting coke/naked bound to come up... stay tuned.
Well this brings up a point. it's hypocritical for a woman to call her self "conservative" or at least "socially conservative" and be in high power positions in the government in the first place.Darth said:Yes. The real problem here is that Palin obviously did not successfully pass her values onto her kids, if their daughter is pregnant at 17. Maybe she was neglecting her family with all of the political stuff.
Is her husband a stay-at-home? Was he the one raising the kids?
Darth said:Let's be careful now...don't want to get the thread locked again from political flame wars....
but yeah, this is kind of embarrassing. And her daughter isn't even all that attractive. How did she get pregnant already?
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Good point. Although, it would have been more hypocritical for her to have had an abortion, and nobody would be any the wiser.ketostix said:Well this brings up a point. it's hypocritical for a woman to call her self "conservative" or at least "socially conservative" and be in high power positions in the government in the first place.
But you know what? Surely she didn't just find out today that she was pregnant. Why did they just now decide to get married after Palin announces her candidacy for VP? You know Palin made them do it for political reasons. Can't have a VP with an out of wedlock grand daughter, especially when you are a Christian conservative. I bet if Palin wasn't running, they would not have gotten married because no one would give a f-ck about Palin or her daughters.Darth said:Good point. Although, it would have been more hypocritical for her to have had an abortion, and nobody would be any the wiser.
But she's going to marry the guy that got her pregnant and have the baby, and not only that she announced the whole thing to the press, so I think she did the right thing.
Of course I think there were better choices then Palin. But I don't dislike her, and I agree with her on most issues, and as previously mentioned I think she's hot...
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
