"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 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.

Hey man! I'm a new college student too, gonna be fun. I have no tips as school has not started yet, but at orientation I already noticed the following things:
College girls are more friendly,
more mature
undoubtedly easier and more slu-tty (to me, not a good thing)
easier to approach and flirt with

My highschool absolutely SUCKED for women. We had like 10 hot girls in the whole school and most of them were involved in long term relationships for the whole dam-n time, so I didn't care to mess with them. I hope to God that I can get more mature girls in college as well. All the shi-t that was highschool, is no more. In highschool everyone knew each other for a long time and you had cliques and popularity contests, which dictated your success with girls there; well, that crap is gone for good. In college, where nobody knows anyone, everybody is more open and they are trying to meet new people just like you.... so the one thing I can say is to be sociable. The place is a chick paradise too, plenty to chose from. You're gonna like it, I'm gonna like it, everyone does.

Oh yeah, in highschool I made the mistake of not getting involved in more extra-curricular activities so I didn't reach my full potential with meeting women, so in college I am going to just be a lot more outgoing and do more things, just to get that extra edge.

So true, college gives you a chance to start over and reinvent yourself.
 

"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.
