"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.

"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.
People will buy it and like the whole shuffle idea until they realize that if they want to hear a specific song, it might take hours to do so. The sad fact is that you have no control over your music, and who knows how well this thing shuffles? I've had many players that replay the same stuff every time you reload the list. The same thing might happen. I expect a buying surge of this and then a drastic tape-off.
Unless, you really do like ALL your music and don't have any preferences to what you hear. I know I don't. All I know is that I busted up my 3rd gen ipod running over the summer, and this would have come into some use.

Anything from Apple will be overpriced.
Lots of better MP3 players out there for less money.

"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 can't afford it. All that worthless gigabytes...who would put so much music on their Ipod?
My mobile phone can store 4 hours of music and costs me $50.

Well I have over 20 gigs of music and I'm downloading another 13gig, so I need a lot of space to store my music. Plus I don't like listening to a few songs, I like variety.Originally posted by diplomatic_lie
