"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.

Without her interest in it.

They divorced for about a year right now, and any time he comes and just stays there and sometime for a night leaning on the sofa.

I do like him but there is a reason they divorced he lost their money on gaming and made her bankruptcy and also he has a very noisy and debatable temperament which influences her and their children psych. He easily can manipulate me because he knows I never had father or brother and him on the other side grew up in a family with older brother and very dominant father therefore we are getting along well.

On one hand I know it is good for the children that there is a father because I never had one and I know the results, on the other it feels like he tries to establish his dominance towards this issue and I know that if this not will be treated carefully right now there will be no good in the future because he may become very aggressive if you take this dominance from him.

His family not goes easy on him, they are also very noisy and already had enough of him, he always changing works (also during their marriage times), overweight and wont let it go and try to establish normal life.

Do I even need to interrupt this?

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Here's a happy medium.

Instead of interference, be the alternate strong male example. As an Uncle, you can offer contrast to their father's behavior and this will provide these children with an additional impression.

Like yourself, I also didn't grow up with the best role models. I'm also an Uncle as well.

Best of luck.
