"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.

Poll: what life would you choose

Which scenerio would you rather live?

  • You make an average income, and you're married faithfully to HB 8.5

"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.

Why is the divorce rate slightly higher than 50 percent in the US?

Care to guess about how many love-less marriages that still exist, because those married dont want to split because of Money, kids, and religious convictions? Its astounding.

Those with profound insights on life, know not to get married.

If that is just 'infatuation' than i'd say marriages as they are now in the US are long-term infatuations.

If its 'love' than why would you rather have a hotter girl and less money. If you were in 'love' you wouldnt care her attractivness. Money is something that is important.

Hahahah! So very true it's hilarious.

However, looking at it in a different way, it could be said that love could be more important compared to money only because true love is like 100 times harder to get than money. So if the question was a hypothetical one, in which it is asking if you would prefer true love more than money, then most people would probably choose true love. But in reality, it is easier on one's self to focus their time and energy in making money than in looking for true love. Who the hell wants to be a failure in both respects anyway?

It's official, people pick money in this scenerio. There was a time when I would have picked the girl, now I'm not so sure what I would pick.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The film "Family Man" shows this paradox in true form. Watch that film
