"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.

"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.

Funny you should mention Fantastic Four. Reed Richards should be a born leader, but they gave him loads of insecurities in the first film. Gave him a character arc I suppose, as he grew into his role, but didn't notice too many faults with the second film, unless you're talking about the bit where he got his ass chewed out for doing his stupid dance with some other girls.

how bout the biggest let down of all silver surfer, Who likes to save chicks from missiles because they remind him of his girl friend back home. Reed Richards only purpose is to make his fiancee happy. Human torch turns into a wimp. Every guy in fantastic four is a pansy except dr. doom who they just made detestable.

How about at the end of the movie when silver surfer tells read to thank invisible woman for being the divine voice of reason.

"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.

Owen Wilson's movies are hilarious and "Me, You, and Dupree" allowed me to hit a higher form of consciousness. I finally had an ah-ha moment that laid the entire DJ-ism form into perspective.

I made a post on it a while ago.
