"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.

Don't know the full story on this..yet, but a girl I know put this on webpage and I assume it's some crap a guy wrote/emailed to her. Read on and enjoy )

"You might not be her first, her last, or her only. She's cared about someone else before and possibly will again, but if she cares for you now, then what else matters? She's not perfect and you aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect, but if she can make you laugh at least once, hold onto her & give her the most you can. She is probably not going to know all the football scores, she might not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break. So don't hurt her, don't change her & don't expect more than she can give. Don't over analyze, smile when she makes you happy, yell when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there..

Thanks for this I love it.. (she said this part)
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

That's written by a girl.

Secondly, that is not AS AFC as poems I've seen. This poem, (hold your breath folks), has TRUTH to it! (release)

"Say What!?"

I'm right, just go with it.

"So Master Don Juan, what are you so right about?"

She's not perfect :rolleyes:

:crackup:

So this poem is canned? Did a girl really write this originally? OK some guy did send it to her and from what I could gather she planned to meet this guy tonight with the intentions of fvcking him. On top of that this guy not goodlooking, and he always "sweet" like this to her. She's really hot too with her pick of guys. Go figure..

It came from somewhere, it's like those forwarded emails running around hotmail about how a guy should be perfect for a girl, and don't do this, don't do that bs.

Let it go, unless you posted with the intention of winning her?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
