"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.

new coat...how does it look?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The coat is too big, it shouldn't go down to your knees, cover up your hands, and should fit tight around your shoulds and torso. Do a search on google for the same coat and look for images with the male models. Emulate them. That's what the coat should look like, look for someone who could alter it for you, I would, because it looks like a nice coat. Don't post that picture on myspace. and yes the jeans are too long.

oh yeah, this is what it reminded me of, no offense: http://kristel.homestead.com/files/vivi.jpg

"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 just bought this double breasted top coat but I'm not sure how it's supposed to fit. How does it look?
Really blurry.

For me, it looks fine. The coat is clearly meant to go almost to the knees. Also it's better to have longer than shorter sleeves. If you lived where I live, you would look better dressed than most.

The coat looks fine it's suppose to be big like that but yeah the pants have to be tighter on you. They look like they don't fit you. You need them tighter and shorter.

Wear it with black slacks instead of jeans and it'll probably look fairly solid.

You guys are high. The fit on the coat sucks. You need to have it tailored.
 

"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.

The coat is fine, it's you who needs to bulk up!
Solution for the pants? Why get other pants when you can...
Squat!
