"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.

The only thing I can say is don't get an Archos. I got mine last year for christmas and the battery is already worthless.

I don't think I'll ever be able to trust a color screen again.

They make 60 gig ipods? I thought 40 was the max.

Does anyone else make 60 gig players cause I already have well over 40 gigs, plus those jews always call like 34.5 gigs 40... ^___^ significant figures;;;;

"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.

Apple makes photo iPods that are 60 GB. They're color and can hold/view photos too. Check it out.

I keep on seeing this "buy the $300 ipod" or "buy this $400 thing"... dude you are going to the GYM! You lift heavy weights! What happens when you drop a 65lbs dumbbell on your ipod on accident?

Get a freaking $70 mp3 player you can strap on your arm. Even if it is as low as 128megs, that is still about 32 songs.. you can easily upload new ones whenever you want.

why the hell would you spend more than a $100 on a thing you can easily lose and break while going to gym is beyond me ;)

I have a Multimedia 20 and it doesn't look like it supported. Oh well.

Because I like to listen to my music in other places then the gym. I do plan on buying a cheapo one to use while I'm running cause it's not good to shake a hard drive that much.

And I saw that photo iPod. Seems pretty good, 15 hour battery :)

Starting birthday list now :D
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I think it's out of line, especially for a moderator, to say something like "those jews always call like 34.5 gigs 40... "

BTW, I'm not Jewish, but I'm sure a certain percentage of the members here are and might be a tad offended by your comment.
