"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.

howdy lads

well, im basically in big trouble. i hooked up with my buddies ex, thinking it would be cool with him for two reasons. one, he broke it off with her, and two he has a new girlfriend. we didn't tell him right away because hes a really protective guy and we weren't sure how he would take it, but a loudmouthed retard (who i will be beating the everliving **** out of tommorow, btw) told him beforehand, so now he thinks i was trying to keep a secret from him and he says everyone knew before him.

this guy is my best mate, i've known him since i was 4. what do you guys think i should do? I as much as anyone am a staunch supporter of bros before hoes, but i don't know if dumping the girl will even solve the problem. what should i do, fellow djs?

and rest assured, i will dump the girl in a heartbeat if necessary

i seriously need input on this lads
 

"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.

i tried

it didn't solve anything

i mean in fairness he only just found out, so maybe i should give him a little time. mostly he was pissed because he found out from this other guy, not from me. he thinks (at least he says) that he doesn't think i would have told him and that everyone knew except him

Tell him to grow up? Honestly, my friends wouldn't ever give me that sh*t.

What are you to do? Appologize so he just does it again in a few weeks?

i didn't apologize either

basically i said that the reason i didn't say anything was because i had a feeling he would react like this and that he had no real right to be plssed off
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

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.

The majority of guys out their are insecure emotionally.

You shouldnt of got with his ex. Now you have to take the consequences of your actions.

normally i wouldnt hook up with a friends ex, but in this case its different.

he dumped her because he no longer had ANY feeling for her, and he dumped her so that he could hook up with the girlfriend he has now.

so, since he had cut all ties with her, i figured it wouldn't bother him. guess i was wrong

I say ignore him. Don't let him get to you. He can taste the very feeling of powerlessness he fears so much.
