"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.

A friend of mine, 'J', has gone major AFC lately over his ex-girlfriend. Actually she's not really his ex; she was cheating on her bf with my friend, then dumped him (J, that is) and went back to her original bf.

Since then she's cut off all contact and J has been depressed and forlorn. He's never put much stock in relationships before this and it's kind of surprising. Now he wants me to go talk to the girl (I know her a little bit) and find out what she's feeling, why she won't return his calls etc.

My first reaction is simply to refuse, but maybe there's a way I can help him after all...?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Do not help him!!!

That will only get you involved with all the drama and sh*t, and will further get him all messed up about his ex.

If you really want to help him, you have to talk some fvcking sense into him and tell him he has to fvcking let the entire thing go and just go for other girls. Theres no way hes gonna get his ex back, and why would he want to if she fvcking cheated on him? Your friend is a primetime afc, and needs some help. Refer him to this site, or just try to talk some serious sense into him. Thats really all you can do.
