"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.

He wants to know if he should verify the date too. I usually don't.
* Unless I need to embark on a journey of 20+ miles, I wait until they write. I don't send date reminders. One reason I spoil them on dates is so I can be secretly happy if they blow me off (I save).

* They should text you sometime either the day before or day of (by 2pm or so) and will say "We're still on for tonight right?" And you say "Of course!" and they reply "I'm excited!!!"

* A lot of times I'll follow through with the plan regardless. I'll write "I'll be at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse at the bar at 8:15PM on Saturday, it's at 123 Main street in Midtown, 31249". If they text a confirmation, I'll be there. If they don't show, I text a picture of my entrée when it arrives, then shut my ringer off.

* The Low Interest Filter - Often the day before the date, I text a sweet nothing message. If they don't reply, I cancel the date the day of, around 3pm, anticipating a flake. If they really want to go, they will put some effort in and say "No, I'm so disappointed! I already started getting ready...." and you can make an exception.

* The moral is: only date women who REALLY like you.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Solid thread, this sort of knowledge should be required to graduate high school or get a GED
Decent threat. Honestly, it's simpler.

Don't text. The phone is a communication device to plan dates. Use it as such and nothing more. Anything stupid you send will be used against you, and forever there for her to see.
