"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.

this is a friendly neighborhood reminder to subject , dimebag darrell .

until your house arrest is over, i will be on your ass to straighten out.

no more sneaking out and getting into trouble.

everyone here needs to encourage him to be a responsible person and to recognize mistakes and be held accountable for them.

until the 26th, i want to see you log in and reply to this thread each nite.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

hes ok and i think in another thread he told me it was over drugs and now he is off the drugs.

anyhow i saw how he posted about sneaking out and im trying to keep his butt out of trouble.

if he gets caught sneaking out, the house arrest wont stop on the 26th and things will get worse.

help me out, give him so encouragment, hes coming a long way.

Penktten, if you weren't already getting married, and I were older, I think I would marry you. Wish I had friends or even just acquiantances to look out and support me like you do for dime.:)

Good luck Dime. You can do it. you can do it all night long.

thats the sweetest thing i heard in a long time:)

i know dime can do this, he just has a little longer to serve at home and then he can go out and play again.

i know he has the ability to stay off the drugs, i know he can find other things to take his mind off any problems he was trying to escape in the first place.

if i can turn my life around, any one can !

thats why i am routing for him.

however he didnt respond to my thread at all yet, which leads me to believe hes not interested in support. i hope thats not the case. there are so many people here that can offer advise to help him thru it.
