"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.

Man this Saturday was crazy. This is the second time in 2 months that I've gotten completely plastered and passed out at a party. Now the amount of times I've done isn't that much, but the sh!t I do when plastered is the problem. There seems to be a barrier where before it I'm fine, don't make a fool of myself. But then any more drinks and I"m going overboard with how flirtatious I am and make a dumbass of myself. I've only just started drinking 5 months ago so I'm not too experienced and it worries me because I don't want to become an alcoholic. I hardly ever drink but I definitely don't want a habit to start.

Plus I hate making a fool of myself. Any tips for me since I'm fairly new to the drinking scene. Although I have a feeling that the suggestions will be don't drink so much.

Edit:
Scrap the over .39 BAC, it was probably somewhere in the .2's. I put in the wrong amount for a couple of my drinks. That's still way too much though. I don't want to tempt fate ever.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

God, I remember when I used to get sh!tfaced nearly every weekend. I used to go through a bottle of cognac everytime. Got to the point where the hangovers were lasting for 3-4 days at a time, and I was wasting a ****load of money. Just drink in moderation, or you will regret it later on. How old are you wootapotky?
 

"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.

Stay away from hard alcohol and wine. Stick to beer. Don't forget to eat. If you keep your stomach full, it is about impossible to pass out from beer alone - you get too full to drink enough to make yourself too drunk.

Also, alcohol dehydrates you, so drink come water after you have had a couple drinks. Hangovers are mostly dehydration and sleep deprivation.
