"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.

So my girlfriend and her best friend are going away for a week over new year. Her friend and me were thinking about suprising her by having me meet up with her that one night. She'll be 80 miles away on new years eve, which is out of the way for me but I think that if we're together on new years it will be another solid base to build our relationship on. I really want to spend the night with her.

Do you think this is a good idea?
Would it be a wasted opportunity if i didnt?
 

"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.

she is probably screwing around on you. she will probably do something up there that you wouldn't like. a girlfriend of mine would NEVER leave me to spend time with another girl. this is especially so on new year's eve. i say dump her and get someone who won't leave you in such a bad situation. you should be the one running away from her (not the other way around).

the girl i am seeing now is far far away. however, i can't see her for another two weeks in person. on new year's eve she will call me and talk to me at midnight. why? one, she adores me (has a cultish feel to it)...PLUS...she wants me to know that she is true to me.

She would fone me if I wasn't there. I'd rather enjoy the night with her in person, rather than with other chicks at home. The two had this planned before we were ever going out, and its a family holiday and my girls the family friend.
