"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.

Im in the market to buy a pair of running shoes. I got shin splints from running on bad shoes. my price range is up to $100, the lower the better.

Are Nike Shox worth the premium, or am I better off with a good pair of New Balance running shoes?

Thanks
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

The trainer I consult with at my gym told me to get some running shoes. I went to a running store and got a pair of Saucony shoes. I liked them so much I bought a pair of Saucony trail shoes to wear in the winter instead of boots. I'm just not a nike person anymore I think other brands are better but that's just my opinion.

It doesn't matter. Most of it is show....go with what feels right...go to a running store and have them observe the way you walk....

You are much better off with a good pair of New Balance running shoes; Nike Shox are worthless.
