"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 would like your opinion about the TV show first dates.

To me its mind boggling, that two people are matched with all this data and parameters, but at the end 90 % of the time the woman still rejects the man.

Imo it's because women really hope to find " the one" , whereas men "just want a gf". Last episode I watched the guy was like " she has dark hair totally my type". How can a man determine that just by one look?

Besides that, I think food and eating exposes a man too fast and the date take too long. Too often I see two people vibing,laughing ect but at the end the woman 90% of the time rejects him. Fron age 20 to 50.

What do you think? Despite all these people were matched to succeed, does this extremely high failure rate represents the real dating world?
 

"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.
