"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.

Bare in mind, however difficult it might seem, I am a vegetarian. I go to college and want to get more meals in, each with protein. Usually all I can really bring is sandwiches but it seems anything with protein in that would suit that kind of packable snack has loads of fat as well. Cheese, Eggs, peanut butter... I'm really not sure what else I can bring in that is appropriate other than protein bars which are too expensive for my budget.

What sorts of things do you bring to work/college ?
 

"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.

Heh.. you arent alone. Honestly, I have been vegetarian for over a year and a half (vegan a year-- but not vegan right now), and I still have trouble finding decent food to eat. There are some good sandwiches that can be made with tofu, which is a great source of protein with little fat. You could always buy some packages of tofu and eat them straight, but unless you are weird, that would taste pretty terrible.

Try vegweb.com/food. They have some great recipes. I try to eat as much fat as possible, so I can't really give you many straight suggestions.

This would be a good question to ask at the vegsource.com forum. <--- Good people.

Anyone who tries to turn this into a flame war (its inevitable) gets a punch in the nose.
