"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.

I've never heard of the cover being that high. Its $75 for the new years party, which isn't bad when compared to other nightspots in boston are charging.

I'm going to a champagne/martini tasting event in medford and then going into boston tonight. i'm glad to hear you're an expert booty shaker bc i'm an expert booty slapper. i will gladly slap your shaking booty while doing my best evil laugh.

let me know if you want to meet up later. what's your cell?

That's a compelling design, although I'd have to see it up close.

For new years, we're going to the Venu/Rumor thing. Should be a pretty good time if I dont get in a fight with some guido.

You can dance huh? I'll have to see your booty in action to be the judge of that.

What are you up to tonight?

Hey HB-

What exactly is your tattoo depicting above your ghetto booty? Are you those old or new pics?

Do you have big new years plans?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"I don't know what depicting means"
"funnest"

Never would I ever waste my time on such naive girls.

If you're being sarcastic, good for you. We both know that at least half the board isn't looking for a LTR.
 

"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.

So we ended up going out last Thursday. We met up at bar with her roommate and her boyfriend. We alternated paying for rounds at three different bars.

She was a lot of fun, very flirty and carefree. We played two games of pool with her rm and bf (at one point when she went to the bathroom, an older woman who kept eyeing me asked if she could get next game).

We ended up splitting up and going to another bar, where I realized I was buzzing hard. We ended up making out in the car for like 5 minutes, but when I tried to touch her breasts she said "hands over the jacket". Yeah, that one surprised me.

I then did two terribly AFC things:

1. She mentioned she had a DVD at home. I then lied and said I hadn't seen it and asked to go back to her place and watch it.

2. When she said she was busy next weekend, I asked her if she was free next Thurs. She said yes.

Fast forward 3 days later. I call her and don't leave a VM. No call back.

I call yesterday and leave a VM. No call back.

Looks like this one is a NEXT but I did realize the mistakes I made. Next time I'm not gonna let my c0ck take over my mind like that.

I don't get why you'd call those two things afc Broham.

1. Isolation is key, sounds like you were just angling for a way to isolate her. Only thing that might be bad about this is if the girl wasn't digging you enough.

2. For the life of me I can't see what is AFC about arranging another meet up. By the sounds of the jacket comment, she wants to take things a bit slow. You might need a few dates to end up with her.

Oh and if someone thinks that all dates are bad, in his example, they're both paying for rounds so things are on an equal footing.
